Opportunity: A group of volunteers have the chance to host a candid seminar or fireside chat with students from our Innovation Fellowship to talk about technical or career development topics.

Additional Info: The Knowledge House will provide class curriculums and additional documents as needed to effectively assist students.

Ideal Background: We are looking for candidates with technical and non-technical backgrounds who can share lessons, stories and experiences from their careers.
