Spring Fest 2010

Congratulations to all the girls who participated in the end of year Spring Festival!  Great Work!

Poetry Meets Songwriting

Thank you to our great songwriting guests who came to visit our poetry group!

We The People: Play and Luncheon

Our young women attended a musical on Broadway entitled: 1776: We The People. Performers acted out the importance of the constitution through music and dance. After, all of us hit Times Square for luncheons and sightseeing!

Fairytale Fashion Show!

Our girls participated in a tutorial class hosted by Diana Eng. They learned about different areas where science and fashion meet, such as: inflatables, led lights, the drawdio, and more. They were also asked to contribute their own design concepts to Diana over the course of a month. This culminated in their attendance at Diana's spectacular Fashion Show showcasing all of her science meets fashion collection. The girls were invited to come to the show, be interviewed by various news outlets, and sit front and center to view the collection. They also hobnobbed with scientists invited to the show who graciously talked with our young women and explained their fields of research. An incredibly enriching experience and an overall fun evening! Thank you Diana!! {more photos in our albums: click on album in the left margin}

Fairytale Fashion with Diana Eng

http://www.fairytalefashion.org


Fashion Designer, Diana Eng (Project Runway), who combines science and technology in her work is partnering with the Treasure Academy to explore Fairytale Fashion concepts. Several of our participants will attend weekly sessions learning where science and fashion meet. They will provide Diana with their ideas and feedback (some ideas might be used her in fashion show!). All of this will culminate into a big fashion show held at Eyebeam in Manhattan. Our gals will sit front and center along with fashion designers and even a few Nobel laureates from the science field!!!

Many thanks to Diana for giving us the opportunity to participate! Have fun Treasure Academy!
