Meet Pearl!
According to his creator,
Pearl is loud, loves to sing, but is a little pitchy and switches between octaves all the time. He tries his best but is not very smart. His favorite subject is English and he loves to write short stories and (bad) poetry
when he is “in his feels.”
​
Pearl was created at an Experiential Learning Day workshop with the Delta Program in State College. Learn more about our workshops here!
