Kids Comic Con returned Saturday for its 17th year at Bronx
Community College.
The “Sci-Fest” themed event honored the life of beloved Star Trek actress Nichelle Nichols
and kids were treated to comic books, costumes, and prize raffles.
Throughout the day, there were special presentations on the connections between real-life science and
sci-fi, drawing workshops, live performances, and special interactive stations where kids
were able to take part in science experiments.
"The kids are
supposed to learn where everything came from. You end up finding that a whole
bunch of adults tend to be kids too,” said Denny Daniel, owner of the Museum of Interesting Things.
