Our Youth Press Teams Chronicle the Latest Discoveries at the 15th Youth Conference

On April 30, our Youth Press Teams fanned out across the Javits Center to uncover the motivations, challenges and discoveries laying behind the 28 projects on show at our 15th Annual Discovering Sustainability Science Youth Conference. 

This year, 11 students ranging from 8 to 18 years old took on the role of junior reporters, interviewing both their student peers and guest speakers. As each team of student presenters trundled off stage to raucous applause and cries of ‘Encore!’, our Youth Press Team was there ready to delve deeper into the topics of climate education and sustainability science.

Those interviewed included: Patricia Lombardi, Senior Vice President, Project Delivery at New York Power Authority, Eli Dryer, Events Sustainability Lead at the Javits Center.

You can read each Youth Press Team member’s articles here: Abigail Castillo, Andrew Vaca, August Miller, Baxter Bell, Emmanuella Nkansah, and Poppy Sachens.

A special thank you to DuJuan Robinson, Hanaa Butcher, Neril Sandeep, Jesse John, John Killigrew, Laura Karlen, Kimberly Nazario Markus for supporting our Youth Press Teams this year!
