Please visit the new page to apply.
The Asian Heritage Society preserves the legacy of Asian Americans, develops tomorrow’s leaders by advancing their prospects for success and helps improve the economy through innovation and entrepreneurship. The Society recognizes achievement through its annual Asian Heritage Awards, helps young people prepare for global and technological change through its BOOSTEM program and shares an economic model for reinvigorating the economy through Make It In America, initiated in 2014. We are looking for a few practitioners of virtual reality or familiar with the concept to help develop a program that will take our BOOSTEM program to the next level. Volunteers will be familiar with CG programs such as Unity, Daz3D, 3D Max, Cry Engine and more. We will outline the idea for the program and work together to develop a new pathway to bring our middle school educational program to the next level.
