TIDE Academy is the newest public high school in the Sequoia Union High School District, with its first class of freshman beginning in August 2019. An educational community that equips students to see the connections between culture, technology, math, science, and the arts, to act as solutions for an evolving social and professional landscape.
At TIDE Academy, we engage in interdisciplinary and inquiry-based units of study. To this end, we are hosting a symposium to bring professionals on to campus to inspire students and help them make connections between the curriculum they are learning in class and the careers they hope to have in the future.
We will start the day with a Keynote Speaker and then have divided the morning into 3 sessions:
9:45-10:30, 10:35-11:20, and 11:25-12:10
Career Round Tables (all 3-time slots available): professionals will speak in a small group format about their career, educational background, give a brief job description and offer the pros & cons of their field. Students will have 15 minutes with each professional and then rotate to the next. Ideally, professionals from a wide variety of careers will be represented.
Technology panel (all 3-time slots available): 3-4 professionals will discuss the new technology that they are working on, their personal pathway and how they got there as well as where the industry is going.
