In-Person Panel at Burton High School (San Francisco)
Inspire IGNITE Students in STEM during an IGNITE Panel at Burton High School at 400 Mansell Street, San Francisco, CA, 94134!
IGNITE aims to increase gender diversity in high-wage/high demand STEM fields, such as technology and engineering. Burton serves a diverse student population, with high percentages of Latinx and Asian students and students who speak Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Filipino, Japanese, and more. Women, nonbinary, transgender, agender, and genderqueer professionals who represent these perspectives are highly encouraged to sign up as Panelists to share their stories and answer student questions!
This is an incredible opportunity to change an IGNITE student’s life! After signing up as a panelist, volunteers are required to complete our Panelist Training at least once per school year and attend a live, interactive Virtual Panelist Coaching Session if they have not attended one in the past.
The total time commitment is about 2 hours of pre-event preparation for new Panelists and 30 minutes of preparation for returning Panelists, in addition to 2.5 hours for the event itself. Training must be completed by October 27.
Approximate time commitment:
New Panelist: 4 .5 hours – 2 hours prep (training, coaching, materials review) + 2.5-hour event
Returning Panelist: 3 hours – 30 minutes prep + 2.5-hour event
