At the August 26th CASI Youth Mentoring Event, you’ll have the unique opportunity to learn from and interact with illustrious photographic artist Michelle Magdalena Maddox. She will present an overview of her notable career path and share the elements that have inspired her creativity. This is an exceptional chance for young people interested in art, science, economics, and writing to gain insights from a top-echelon Central Coast photographer who beautifully blends art and science in her work.

The August 26th free event will take place at the Community Shared Spaces in the Carmel Barnyard. The event is open to the public and will take place between 3:30 pm and 4:45 pm. It is geared toward interested middle schoolers, high schoolers, and college students, with the adult public also welcome to attend. After the keynote presentation, there will be time to meet our featured speaker and a Q&A session. Subsequent to the keynote presentation, California Arts and Sciences Institute mentors in science and economics will be present to discuss the 2024/2025 CASI Student Writing Contest.
