ACME Inventions came to Chuck Jones Center for Creativity yesterday and these young ladies created "Birdseedville" an entire village devoted to capturing the Road Runner. They even enlisted the assistance of one of their mothers. Over the next hour and a half and under the watchful guidance of resident teaching artist, Chris Scardino, they plotted, they planned, they re-purposed, they invented !
