The LAUNCH Program is partnering with Islands of Brilliance to host its 5th annual Colors & Cords fundraising event on Friday, November 22nd starting at 6:00 pm. This music, art, and technology event celebrates creativity and diversity, specifically designed for children and young adults on the autism spectrum. Both the Advanced Manufacturing & Design, and Hospitality Innovation strands are engaging in the event. The Advanced Manufacturing & Design strand has worked to design and build the food truck structures. The Hospitality Innovation strand is working with four restaurants to coordinate menus with restaurants, complete a cost analysis of food, and serve food at the event. We are looking forward to be engaging in such an exciting event!
