Dance Meets Code: NYC Girls Create, Move, and Invent Together
A Unique Opportunity Awaits
On Saturday, November 8, 2025, STEM From Dance is set to take over New York City with their highly anticipated Pop-Up event. This unique experience, crafted specifically for girls aged 8-14, offers a free, high-energy atmosphere where participants can dive into the fascinating intersection of dance and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). No prior experience in either field is necessary, just an enthusiastic spirit and a curious mind!
Celebrating Imagination and Innovation
The event promises a day filled with exciting activities that allow young girls to explore innovative concepts in artificial intelligence (AI) while learning new dance styles. Picture a world where your choreography can control lighting, or where you can design dance routines inspired by cutting-edge technology! Workshops are curated to foster confidence and ignite curiosity, proving that STEM can be both accessible and fun.
Yamilée Toussaint, an MIT engineer, the Founder and CEO of STEM From Dance, and a 2024 CNN Hero, emphasizes the importance of such experiences. She states, "We love seeing the moment a student realizes she can dance and code, and that STEM is for her!"
This event not only encourages creativity but also prepares the participants for future opportunities. Each girl attending will be granted priority registration for the renowned STEM From Dance Camp 2026, a transformative three-week summer program where innovation and performance converge seamlessly.
