A student dressed as the Mandalorian stands next to a life-sized R2-D2 robot replica at a school Comic-Con event. The student wears red and black armor with a green lanyard, while people browse booths and displays in the background.
Bringing Together Cosplay and Coding in High School In this class, students learn engineering skills as well as costume design and event planning, culminating in a convention that’s open to the whole community. A smiling student sits at a workbench surrounded by laptops, wires, and blue LED lights, working on electronics for the Comic-Con project. Another student stands nearby, and workshop tools are visible in the background.
Two students dressed in elaborate costumes sit side by side at a school Comic-Con. One wears a handmade wolf mask, fur collar, and colorful patchwork skirt, while the other wears a Marquette University shirt with a dragon mask and red cape. Paper snowflakes and a winter forest backdrop hang behind them.
A student stands in a school gym during a Comic-Con event, dressed as a character wearing a handmade watering-can hat with bits of green moss, a white shirt with a large collar, olive-green suspenders, and white tights. They hold a certificate and a small gray prop, smiling for the camera. Behind them are tables, other students, and a “Cosplay Contest Signup” sign.
We give this school’s Comic-Con PBL experience 5 stars! ⭐
