The scientific minds of tomorrow are getting more opportunities to enhance their skills courtesy of Time Warner Cable.
The company’s New York City region has launched "Connect a Million Minds." It's part of a national $100 million initiative by Time Warner Cable.
The initiative focuses on giving children a new love for science, technology, engineering and math, as well as honing skills they'll need more as they grow up and enter the workforce.
At the New York Hall of Science yesterday, students created and learned about catapults, with prizes going to the best models.
"I'm not going to sleep in science no more. I love science. Science is my new favorite subject,” said one youngster.
"I think we've just seen demonstrated here that this all can be a lot of fun,” said Time Warner Cable chief executive officer and President Glenn Britt. “It's not just sort of dull old textbooks, but you can really have a lot of fun with math and science, and that's what this is all about."
NY1’s Technology reporter Adam Balkin attended the event.
Time Warner Cable is the parent company of NY1.
