BWW Blog: Spend Your Summer with Exceptional Minds  Image

If you're a true blue Marvel fan like me, you remain glued in your theater seat for the entire end crawl of every single Marvel Studios movie.

One name always jumps out to me: Exceptional Minds. EM has been credited for creating over half of the Marvel Studios slate, including the most recent installment, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

This one-of-a-kind school is located in Sherman Oaks, California, and educates young adults on the autism spectrum "for careers in animation, visual effects, 3D gaming, and other related fields in the digital arts."

Exceptional Minds recently announced some really big news:

This remarkable school is offering Summer Workshops on digital arts, beginning June 20th and running in two week sessions until August 19th.

Even more exciting news: Young adults on the spectrum may attend these fabulous classes-from anywhere in the world-via Zoom.
