FREE STEM SPEAKER EVENT Voices : Voces Featuring Pixar's Danielle FeinbergSaturday, April 1, 2023Hosted by BFB Foundation and Central Piedmont Community College REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED (by March 25, 2023) BFB Foundation and Central Piedmont Community College invite you to an upcoming speaker event to be held in Central Piedmont's New Theater in the Parr Building. ABOUT DANIELLE: Danielle Feinberg is Visual Effects Supervisor at Pixar Animation Studios & Mentor for Girls in STEM. Feinberg’s love of combining computers and art began when she was eight years old, and first programmed a Logo turtle to create images. This eventually led her to a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science from Harvard University. Now, in addition to her Pixar work, she works with teenage girls, encouraging them to pursue math and science by demonstrating to them the same beautiful simplicity she found with the programmed art of the Logo turtle. WHY STEM: The event is important to BFB Foundation’s mission of strengthening communities by supporting education-focused initiatives for girls and women. It provides a platform to positively affect economic mobility in the Charlotte Metro Area, especially concerning the underserved. Our efforts will also support immediate action to advance and provide funds for the education of girls in critical areas of job and livelihood growth, particularly in STEM related areas.
