Special Opportunities

FREE In-Person Design Challenge on Saturday, April 9, 2022 at Princeton University

The program involves workshops specifically for students throughout the day (while they are welcome to attend them all), including science demos and sessions on how to fund their undergraduate degree, paths that they can take post their high school education and more.

The Festival is open to NYC Dept. of Education middle and high school students.  20+ short films will be selected for the Festival by a panel of media professionals and educators, and will be screened in May 2022.

The Service in Schools Leadership Institute is an exciting opportunity for NYC public high school students in grades 10-12 to build their leadership skills over the course of a five-day Institute during spring break and in after-school virtual sessions in May 2022. It culminates in the planning and implementation of the Youth Service Summit virtual lessons for elementary school students.
