The Rebecca School, which provides education for children with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders, welcomed DeCaire as a guest speaker at the school's comic book club last month.
DeCaire presented the comic book club's members with a presentation entitled "Science of the Superhero". During the presentation, DeCaire demonstrated the mathematics and concepts that are used in comic book design. In real-time, DeCaire showed students the transformation of cubes into legendary comic book characters. The demonstration was highly applauded by the students, who asked DeCaire to create their favorite characters from three dimensional shapes. DeCaire signed each of the creations for the students to have as keepsakes.
DeCaire currently presents "Science of the Superhero" for preschool and lower elementary, upper elementary, and high school classes. He carefully presents age-appropriate, fun demonstrations that show how geometric figures are the foundation for creating a superhero. All artwork created during the presentations is signed and given away after the presentations.
