A Night of Inspiration & Laughter!

On March 25, 2022, Lumity held our Annual Benefit to showcase and celebrate the youth enrolled in STEM Career Prep and STEMWorks and to show our appreciation for our partners! 

STEM Fair

All seven semi-finalist teams presented their projects during the reception and the two finalist teams who competed in the final stage of this year’s competition were:

  • See to Sea team from Thornwood High School coached by Ferrara
  • Very Accessible Leisure (V.A.L.) from Von Steuben Metropolitan Science Center coached by CDW and Brookfield Properties

And the winner is…
