The Apps Youth Leadership Academy (AYLA) is the flagship STEM incubator program of the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute & Silicon Harlem. The AYLA for the summer of 2017 focused in on Game Development.  The purpose of the program is to provide students with an intensive experience in how to start a tech company based upon developing a video game.  We took in 20 students from diverse background and evenly split the class with 10 male and 10 female students.

Thank you so much to the sponsors of this program CCCADI, Pinkerton Foundation, WeWork as our location sponsor and Microsoft for providing our students with surface pros to work on.

We cannot be more proud of how these students developed over the six-week program. Check out their presentations from the day off the event. There are also Photos and a special video of the graduation night below.
