Pop Culture Classroom Kids' Lab and 8-Bit Lounge
An area dedicated to children and teens, the 9,000 square feet of floor space allows for them to learn through creating and listen to their favorite comic artist or writer speak. Last year, the Lab had tons of fun activities for young geeks to enjoy, like an arts and experiment area and much more. The 8-Bit Lounge is a stage inside the Lab for teens, full of bean bags and comfy couches. Here, there are opportunities for Q&A sessions with comic, TV, and film creators.
