The Sunnyvale Library is hosting Silicon Valley Reads events this month for visual artists, teen poets and kids who are into robotics.
Wendy Xu, author of the graphic novel “Infinity Particle,” will lead teens and adults in a comic workshop on March 17. “Infinity Particle” is a teen selection for this year’s Silicon Valley Reads.
In the workshop, set for 5-6:30 p.m., Xu will discuss the different parts of a comic and lead attendees in designing their own four-panel comic. For more information, visit https://bit.ly/3QGgAES.
Teens are also invited to “Poetry in the Age of AI” on March 19, 4-5 p.m., with Burlingame-Hillsborough Youth Poet Laureate Sierra Elman to discuss, explore and experiment with how AI affects poetry and its future. Participants will also have an opportunity to write poetry and share their work. No experience with poetry or AI is needed, but participants should bring their own laptops.
