Generation Jones, in partnership with Gen Alpha, presents:

8 Minutes of imagINe nation with A Box of Kittens

The story of how we got HERE!

A really long story made into our first Short Stop-Motion Action Figure Animation Theater film project to introduce jINgle house.

Featuring A Box of Kittens

This marketing kit is designed to position 8 Minutes of imagINe nation as a premier “STEAM+E” (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math + Entertainment) educational experience.

In the Detroit context, this positions the project as a bridge between the city’s industrial heritage and its future as a UNESCO City of Design.

📽️ Project Overview: 8 Minutes of imagINe nation

Working Title: 8 Minutes of imagINe nation

Format: Multi-media Maker Curriculum & Narrative Showcase

Lead Creative: Ulysses Newkirk

Location: Detroit, MI (Fab-City Node)

1. The “Elevator Pitch” (The Hook)

“In just 8 minutes, we transform consumers of media into Community Collaboration Production Designers. By combining the precision of 3D printing with the soul of Afrofuturism and the ‘Jugaad’ mindset, 8 Minutes of imagINe nation equips K-12 creators to build the artifacts, stories, and community infrastructure of tomorrow.”

2. Partnership & Endorsement Tiers

• The Perk: “Hardware Spotlight”—your tools are the official standard for the curriculum.

🛠️ Industry Partner: “The Art Department Lead”

🎨 Visual Tone for the Kit:

The aesthetic should be “Industrial Blueprint meets Afrofuturist Neon.” Use high-contrast technical drawings of 3D-printed parts overlaid with vibrant, speculative-fiction colors.
