STEM City Chicago, in collaboration with Nubian Media and Bohemian Digital Assets, has launched an innovative initiative called the 'Real Ruff Necks Read Comic Book Club', which aims to promote Afrofuturism and encourage black men to volunteer and read Afrofuturism comic books written by black authors in schools and community centers. As an incentive, young participants who join the comic book discussions will receive a Bohemian Ruff Neck NFT that can be redeemed for exclusive prizes, cool collectibles, and other swag. Additionally, the purchase of this NFT will cover a one-year membership to National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) and the cost of the comic books. Participants will also receive VIP event passes and other perks.
