Zooskool’s origins were less cinematic but no less formative. A community center’s after-school program that outlived its funding, Zooskool took the shape of whoever needed it most: a place to learn to solder circuits, to rehearse spoken-word, to debate whether an algorithm could have a soul. It was equal parts sanctuary and provocation. Where formal institutions offered diplomas, Zooskool offered odd tools and the tacit permission to fail spectacularly.
