Lumity is doubling the number of high school students in their programs to over 2,000 for the 2016-2017 school year. They rely on STEM professionals to share their career journey and experiences with students. Lumity is looking for STEM professionals to become STEM Talk speakers, which involves 4-6 hours of coaching to develop a compelling presentation, rehearsing with Lumity, and committing to speak at 3 schools over the year to classes of 20-100 students.

Lumity owes the success of our high school program to STEM professionals,
like you, who share their personal career path journey with these students.
Our current STEM Talk speakers have at least two of these qualities:
n Overcame obstacles to become the STEM professional they are today
n Made mistakes they thought they couldn’t overcome, but did
n Were the first person in their family to go to college
n Had interesting twists in their career path
n Had a career goal to become a more compelling speaker
Coaching Process and Time Commitment
It takes about 4-6 hours to become a STEM Talk Speaker between the following steps:
n Meet a TEDx and Chicago Ideas Week speaker coach. The coach
will help you find your story, collaborate with you to develop your content and
coach your delivery of an engaging, inspiring and compelling presentation.
n Rehearse your talk with a live audience of Lumity representatives.
n Provide a brief bio and photo to share with the teachers and students
in advance of your talk.
Speaking Expectations
We ask you to commit to three speaking engagements over the course of a year.
How it works:
n We connect you to a Chicago-area high school and coordinate
all the arrangements with the school.
n Each speaking engagement is approximately a half-day.
n You’ll deliver your talk to as many as three classes at each school location.
n Class size will range from 20 to 100 students.
You could easily
inspire hundreds of
students to pursue
a STEM career!
