In November, 2014, Time Warner Cable was the presenting sponsor of the inaugural “Capital Region Science Festival” hosted by long-time Connect a Million Minds partner miSci – the Museum of Innovation & Science in Schenectady, NY. Working closely with miSCI, TWC helped recruit its non-profit STEM partners from throughout the region to make this weekend-long event a resounding success with 3,000 visitors and more than 30 exhibitors. Families got a chance to explore nanotechnology, robotics, 3D printing, chemistry, astronomy and more. TWC’s signature exhibit area featured both Connect a Million Minds as well as TWC News so visitors could learn about the science of meteorology as well as the science behind TV production.
