  The Art of Science:
  The Challenges of Bringing Imagined Worlds to Life
  
  A 28-year veteran of Pixar Animation Studios, Visual Effects Supervisor Danielle Feinberg reveals how STEM secretly powers the magic of animation. At each stop, she explores the blend of math, science, and art that, when used together, brings imagined worlds to life. With examples from her own life and movies like Finding Nemo, WALL-E, Coco, Turning Red, and more, she will deliver a behind-the-scenes look at problems big and small and their hard-fought solutions.
  
  Simultaneously, parents are invited for a morning session, including a student panel addressing STEM education, the social and academic challenges of high school, Q&A, and a campus tour.
  
  Our ambassadors (high school students) provide leadership, volunteer training, and manage logistics on the day of the event.
