This unique online virtual conference + exhibit will tell stories of Latinx professionals in the Video Game and Tech sector  to inspire and encourage Latinx youth to pursue opportunities in STEM. Our panels and featured speakers will explore the Video Game industry from the lens of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Latinx students are currently the largest minority group in the public school system, but they score lower than the national averages on math and science achievement tests  and enroll at significantly lower levels. Latinx students are underrepresented in undergraduate and graduate STEM programs and are not sufficiently exposed to STEM subjects at the K -12 Levels.
