DENVER (KDVR) — FOX31 was the media sponsor for Future Fest, an event created to help inspire the next generation in the Denver metro and showcase the diverse careers available to them in the future.
The event, hosted at Civic Center Park, had representatives from a variety of careers, including:
- Firefighters
- Police officers
- Artists
- Athletes
- Journalists
Those are only a small percentage of the groups that attended Future Fest. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston even attended the event to help inspire the next generation of politicians.
“You know, we have this great mayor’s youth works program this summer, where if you’re a high school student looking for a summer job, we can help connect you to an employer, you get hired for the summer and we’ll pay you a $500 bonus for working there this summer,” said Johnston.
Young artists held a contest to design the logo for this year’s t-shirts, and a group of young entrepreneurs got to perform business pitches to a panel of experts.
FOX31 brought out the Pinpoint Weather Beast and showed the next generation what it looks like to be a journalist and meteorologist.
