Why Inspiring Nerdy Families Matters
Fandom can be a powerful force for connection, creativity, and learning. For us, inspiring nerdy families means encouraging parents and kids to embrace their interests, try new things, and find community.
Whether it’s building a Star Wars Lego set, reading comics together, or traveling to a convention, these experiences help families bond and grow. We believe every family deserves to feel welcomed in the world of pop culture.
As parents, we have seen our child connect with other people just based on our experiences in the fandom community. She shows interest, which inspires learning—even when it means checking to see how to spell Elphaba when her teacher isn’t looking. (Her aunt overheard her telling her cousin, lol.)
