We had an incredible day at Amazon celebrating Emoti-con 2024, where we showcased the creativity of 200+ Design League students from 12 schools across NYC & Newark! A special shout-out to the 30 Amazon leaders who participated in our professional mentorship program. Their support during student-led presentations and the Tech Career Innovation Job Fair provided invaluable insights and inspiration for our students, offering them a firsthand look into exciting career paths. Thank you to the team at Amazon (especially Rich Rabinovich, Daniel Schwartz, Eric Peltzer, and Carolina Fernandez), our professional mentors, and other supporters who made today possible. Lastly, congrats to our ingenious student participants on the incredible work they did in Design League. The winners and all projects can be found on emoticon.mouse.org. Your creativity and dedication are truly inspiring, and we can't wait to see what you achieve next!
