For teachers & librarians

Do you have any aspiring writers or scientists in your classroom or library? We’d love to host an assembly, a library event, or a visit for just the grades you think would be a good fit, and share our two-year process of creating this book.

What we cover

  • How an idea turns into a real book, from Google Slides to printed pages
  • Our chaotic FaceTime and lunch brainstorm sessions fueled by Trader Joe’s snacks
  • What the microbiome is and why there’s a whole world of “fuzzies” living inside you
  • Why your voice matters at any age: what it was like navigating the book industry as teens

The details

  • About 30 minutes: a 20-minute presentation on our book creation process, then 10 minutes of Q&A. We’re happy to adjust to whatever length works for you.

Workshops

For clubs & organizations

We also work with high school clubs around the country to host workshops with The Brave Fuzzy in classrooms to get kids excited about science. We believe there is so much power in teens teaching young students!

What you get

  • A ready-to-run workshop plan built around the book
  • Activity sheets and slides you can use as-is
  • A call with our team to walk through how we run it

Open to science clubs, writing clubs, honor societies, and youth organizations. No experience needed, just a few teens who want to teach.

Host a workshop

Tell us about your club and we’ll send over what you need to get started.
