The Octavia Project uses speculative fiction as a lens through which to envision new futures and greater possibilities for our world; blending creative writing, art, science, and technology, our programming increases confidence and skills in a myriad of subjects while fostering leadership and community. The organization's inspiration and namesake is Octavia E. Butler, who broke barriers in writing and science fiction to become an award-winning and internationally recognized author.

Inspired by Octavia E. Butler's explorations of alternate futures and commitment to social justice, Octavia Project offers summer programs which encourage imagination and community building. Their free Summer Camp for middle schoolers and Summer Institute for high schoolers bring together young women and trans and nonbinary youth to build new worlds.

Whether you're a returning guest or joining for the first time, the summer showcase promises to leave you encouraged, inspired, and excited for the future. Join us to engage with student projects and hear student work performed by participants from across Octavia Project’s multiple programs.
