About the 2025 Character Design Program at Info Tech

Creative Art Works’ Character Design Program is a paid internship offered at four NYC Career and Technical Education High Schools. Interns are challenged to create their own fully-realized characters with backstories, personality traits, and strengths and weaknesses. 

This year, the curriculum suggested three themes to help interns shape their creative vision: Climate Change, Peacekeeping, and Hunger. As the program progressed, some students naturally evolved their characters beyond these original themes, reshaping stories, motivations, and designs in ways that reflected their growing skills and imagination.
