February 2025

In 2025, HGS and its collaborators launched a new program bringing the Video Games: The Great Connector pop-up exhibit directly into middle and high schools in District 5!

The Unreleased Games Arcade is back for 2025!

Thank You to the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs

HGS has been awarded $35,235 in funding from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs for FY2025! Even better—this grant is a 3-year award, providing base funding through FY2027.

This support helps us continue our mission of fostering creativity and innovation in our community. Thank you for investing in the future of arts and education!

Science and Arts Engagement is honored to receive a $40,000 grant from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA).

This funding, aimed at continuing to bring Video Games: The Great Connector exhibition to the public for free, underscores New York’s continued commitment to empowering youth to pursue higher education, fostering growth, and enriching our community.

As part of NYSCA’s $82 million investment this year in organizations across the state, this grant will directly support our mission to inspire, educate, and engage youth through the transformative power of STEM.

We extend our gratitude to NYSCA, Governor Hochul, and all those who champion the creative and inclusive spirit of New York. Together, we’re shaping a vibrant, connected, and innovative future.

This grant begins on January 1, 2025.
