Come learn about the Pixar filmmaking pipeline and all the STEAM jobs at Pixar Animation Studios!

Take a walking tour of the Pixar Animation Studios campus in Emeryville, CA, as well as their gallery spaces filled with Pixar art! Following the tour, students will gather in a screening room to learn all about Pixar’s filmmaking process from women leaders at Pixar. Over tea and snacks, participants will break into small groups for Q&A time so students can ask more questions in a smaller context, and will rotate tables so they will get to meet Pixar women who work in many areas of STEAM–engineers, technical directors, and production managers. All visitors must sign an NDA upon arrival. All attendees will receive Pixar swag!

Pixar is an animation studio devoted to the art of filmmaking by diverse storytellers. Employees work in careers that span the full spectrum of STEAM disciplines, from fine art to cutting-edge computer science technology.

**This event is being offered in conjunction with Pixar’s Community Outreach Team and, as such, is limited to students in the immediately neighboring East Bay Area cities (Oakland, Emeryville, Berkeley).
