DESCRIPTION:On Saturday, October 22nd from Noon to 7:00 p.m., Imprint.City in 
 partnership with Mission Bit and the Mural Music & Arts Project will launch 
 the first annual BayviewLIVE Festival. BayviewLIVE, a festival created to 
 address the digital divide by leveraging resources to support tech 
 education for neighborhood youth will welcome Grammy Award nominated 
 artist, Jidenna, a large scale mural lead by artist Cameron Moberg and 
 youth artists from the Mural Music & Arts Project and a robust tech 
 experience area provided by Airb&b. \n\n"San Francisco is the international 
 hub of the tech community, yet our residents of color experience tremendous 
 barriers to meaningfully participate. At Mission Bit, we've been solving 
 the tech divide by lending laptops to youth of color that don't have them 
 at home and offering free coding education that will support them with 
 being able to compete for jobs or start their own businesses, says a native 
 to the Bayview-Hunters Point and Mission Bit CEO, Stevon 
 Cook.\n\nBayviewLIVE, a S.T.E.A.M festival, was developed to highlight the 
 beauty of the performing and visual arts, reflecting the cultural landscape 
 of the neighborhood while also bringing revenue to local businesses. The 
 festival, additionally seeks to motivate young people of color to stay with 
 S.T.E.A.M education training by showcasing their final projects during a 
 vibrant, fun-filled arts festival.\n\n"What we hope to achieve by featuring 
 student tech projects and youth artists at the BayviewLIVE festival and 
 including high profile visual and performing artists, is providing the kind 
 of "cool factor" needed to have a lasting impact on the minds of youth 
 participants, encouraging them to continue their journey within the tech 
 and arts space," explains Imprint.City executive director, Tyra 
 Fennell.\n\nFree\n
