The History of EduCon and Comic Con's
Educational Influence
Niagara EduCon is not just an event—it’s a launchpad for imagination, discovery, and hands-on learning. Our mission is to immerse students in an exciting blend of art, storytelling, and design, igniting curiosity and passion for creativity.
Niagara EduCon draws inspiration from the vibrant world of Comic Con, known for uniting fans, creators, and pop culture enthusiasts. Comic Con has evolved into a space for collaboration, learning, and inspiration, where storytelling and creativity thrive.
