To Excite
Most kids know about standard career choices, such as being a doctor, lawyer, or engineer. However, many students do not know about fun and fulfilling careers such as 3D Design, Gameplay/Software Engineering, or Cosmetic Processing.

We've heard stories from children that have been told that they cannot have a job in the STEAM fields because of their background. Our initiative was created to empower students and show them that anything is possible.
