For youth in secondary school & their educators or caregivers.
Visionary symposiums inspire, fuel critical thinking about leading-edge technology, and prepare high school students to meet the needs of tomorrow. Students will learn about emerging topics and fascinating fields such as space exploration. They will also have a unique opportunity to engage with STEM leaders and hear invaluable tips.
Each Visionary Symposium has 3-4 speakers then a conversation between speakers inspired by questions from youth. You will find select video clips of past talks and conversations on the resource pages below. If you cannot find the recording you are looking for, email us to request the recording.
