    The Artest Foundation's city-wide STEAM initiative is more than a one-off event – it's a pledge to NYCHA youth, equipping them with skills for a digital future.

     

    Our journey starts at Queensbridge with a unique Web3 and Sneaker Design Competition. But it goes beyond, igniting a creative spark in a community teeming with potential, setting the stage for their digital futures.

     

    We're not stopping there. Post-event, we're committed to continuous learning and programming, ensuring that our 12-18 year-olds aren't just prepared for the future of work - they're leading it.

     

    By 2024, our groundbreaking initiative will reach all five boroughs. We're inviting you to join us on this transformative journey. Together, we can turn every NYCHA youth into a creator, ready for what's next.
