Engineering Speaks
Engineering Speaks gives students and researchers from Columbia Engineering the opportunity to speak directly to K-12 students. While we are unfortunately unable to send engineering experts in-person to schools during 2020-2021, we are happy to provide teachers and students virtual panels, workshops, and seminars to provide an interactive digital experience! Typically, engineer speakers tell a “life story” and explain their personal path, including passions, education, current work, and how they came to work in their current fields.
We highly encourage you to also check out the new digital learning experience offered through our Inside Engineering program, featuring hands-on engineering exploration lessons.
Registration has closed for the November sessions. Please stay tuned for more dates, and check out recordings of past sessions below!
