We use science fiction to encourage young women & trans & nonbinary youth to dream big and empower them with skills to build alternative futures. We use science fiction and fantasy to get into science, tech, art and writing. The Octavia Project uses the creative power of speculative fiction and community to envision new futures and greater possibilities for our world. We foster spaces of imagination and exploration for Brooklyn teens and tweens, blending creative writing, art, science, and technology to encourage critical thinking, build confidence, and develop skills in a myriad of subjects.
