STEAM education is not only critical to the success of the video game industry, but also to creating meaningful opportunities for people from different backgrounds, to help shape both the physical and digital worlds that we live, work, and play in.  With a spotlight on video games, the panel will explore the impact of STEAM on education, culture, and entertainment and how this integrated approach provides opportunities for young people, from diverse backgrounds, to gain access to skills and new jobs that ultimately help shape the world today.
