From STEM to SCREEN: Inspiring Tomorrow’s Creators

The Paley Center for Media, the Verizon Foundation and the Mayor’s Office of Media & Entertainment presented FROM STEM TO SCREEN: INSPIRING TOMORROW’s CREATORS. This special networking event connected New York City high school students with media professionals who use STEM in various fields of production and post-production.
