Keynote Speaker – Emily Driscoll

Community Event – October 7, 6:30pm
Join us for an unforgettable day with Emmy Award-winning science video producer Emily Driscoll, whose passion for scientific innovation has inspired audiences around the world!
More than 1,250 high school students will gather for Emily’s keynote presentation, where she will use amazing visuals from her 60-Second Science videos to bring scientific concepts to life. Through engaging storytelling and real-world examples, students will discover how science fuels curiosity, drives innovation, and helps build a more peaceful and connected world.
A 20-minute interactive Q&A session will further allow students to clarify complex concepts, challenge arguments, and connect the speaker’s overarching message to their own lives!
We will also be hosting the Science In a Snap video contest! This is a mini-video contest for junior high and high school students to show us how science makes the world a better place. Contest winners will be announced at the keynote speaker event, location TBD.
Finally, we are planning a Community Event with Emily Driscoll at Meson Sabika, 6:30 pm. Connect with Emily to expand your professional network and discover new perspectives!
