About
HQ, whether online only now or (at some future point) in a physical location, is a place for kids 5 to 18 years old to be creative, meet others and share in different forms of storytelling.
Loosely speaking, HQ uses superhero or supervillain motifs to explore themes big and small, local and global, for fun or for social justice through writing, the arts and physical expression.

“I really enjoyed watching my son’s creativity spark over the weeks of his HQ animation course . . . we look forward to engaging in future HQ courses!”
Our TWEENS
For the older HQ Students there will be opportunities for mentoring and internships as well as creating their own independent HQ projects in their communities and interests.
Our KIDS
HQ courses are structured around the final project. Every “super student” at the end of each HQ course will complete a final project that they can call their own. This could be in the form of a costume, a short movie, a story, a comic book, a video game, a play, etc.
“This is fantastic. I wish I had something like this when I was a kid. It’s a one-stop shop for all creative needs that kids should be exploring.”
HQ At A Glance
There are three areas of focus: "Action Hero", which centers on fitness; "The Creator", which focuses on visual arts; and "The Orator," which is based on writing.
Because interests differ by age, HQ will be divided into five Academies. Each academy directly addresses the interests of students in a certain age group and helps them define what it means to be a hero (or a villain).
“I had fun creating animation with my friends and Josh!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Small class size (max. of 6 kids) makes for better interaction.
“I think you are such a good teacher [Josh] and this class [Stop-Motion] was so fun.”
