Lean More Here!

Our Imagine the Future Video Earned a Spot in the Top 3 Finalists!!
​

Our video for the Imagine the Future - Youth Video Challenge hosted by the Arthur C. Clarke Foundation in partnership with KID Museum and Youth Service America was confirmed to be in the top three finalists by email on November 4th, 2017. Both of us were pleasantly/happily surprised and overjoyed. 
When we were first introduced to the prompt of "what do you think is a problem in the world that would be solved by 2042?", we knew that we wanted our video to focus on a solution that would be pretty unique compared to other well-known problems. After countless discussions on other topic candidates, cyber-bullying seemed like the problem to tackle as it not only has become such a widespread world-wide problem for people ranging in all age groups, but will also probably continue to become more prominent as technology continues to advance. 
We are both happy and thankful to be ranked as a top 3 finalist and look forward to making improvements on our video in the one-to-one master sessions coming up, as well as presenting our video at the Unleash Imagination—Shape the Future Conference in Washington, D.C. on December 9th! 
We will keep you updated on our newest improvements to our video and the events of December 9th.
THANK YOU 2017 WORLD MAKER FAIRE!!!!! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN BEING A PART OF SUCH A HUGE EVENT!!!!



​We received a total of 4 awards on the second day of the Maker Faire! 3 Editor's Choice awards and one Best in Class awards from 4 different judges.

​Maker Faire Video! 

This video was made by the two of us (it took us a whole 3 days to write, shoot, and edit) and was sent as part of our application for the 2017 World Maker Faire to be held in New York from September 23rd - 24th. 
​
It was a great honor to be invited to the 2017 Worlds Maker Faire, and we are very excited to attend our first World Maker Faire! We wish to participate not only to showcase our projects, but also to take a closer look at other creative projects and innovative new ideas.   

The Kennedy Center

We were given the amazing opportunity, thanks to the KID Museum (KIDS Museum Exoerience) in May of 2017 to showcase our MEOW project at the annual Arts Summit held at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC! There, we got to meet a lot of amazing people including a professor at MIT and Yo-Yo-Ma, who was the host!
