Impact across New York City
Exposure
changes everything.
When students can see, touch, build, and compete with emerging technology, possibility becomes personal.
A decade of impact
Creativity and technical skill belong together.
For more than a decade, Vivid Imagination has transformed how students in New York City public schools engage with learning, technology, and their own potential. We bring immersive, future-ready education directly into classrooms and communities, helping young people become capable creators and problem-solvers.
Across more than 250 schools and 50,000 students, programs spanning drone technology, 3D modeling and animation, virtual and augmented reality, robotics, esports, and emerging STEM fields build more than technical skill. They spark curiosity, strengthen confidence, and expand what students believe is possible.
Equity and access remain central to the work. Through hands-on experiences, educator training, and sustainable program models, Vivid helps schools build long-term capacity—not simply one-time exposure. The result is measured in mindset shifts: students who believe in their abilities, educators empowered to teach cutting-edge content, and school communities better prepared for the future.
More than access
Confidence is a workforce skill.
Vivid programs give students room to experiment, recover, collaborate, and lead. The technical skill matters. So does the student who walks away thinking, “I can do this.”
“The future is grounded in technology, and Vivid is helping students step into it with confidence, curiosity, and skill.”
