Virtual Panel: Brilliant Black Builders

FIRST General Forum
#1

Join us! Pearadox has a couple of students that have worked on putting together a virtual panel for students of color on July 28th at 7 PM central. You’ll be able to hear from STEM professionals about how race has impacted their college and professional careers.

You can find more details about some of our panelist and register at https://pearadox5414.weebly.com/bbb.html

I believe you should be able to add questions for the panelists in the eventbrite registration embedded on our webpage (which is free of course!), but if there’s any issue if you post them here I can provide them to our student who will be moderating the conversation!

Brilliant Black Builders is a subgroup of Pearadox that organized this past year, similar in nature to our Gearbox Girls who organized a similar virtual panel last summer.

This looks like a great event! Is it intended as a space just for students of color, or are others allowed to join as well? Just wanted to check before I pass the info on to our team :slight_smile:

Thanks for asking, because I intended to include that information in my original post!

Any students are welcome, however they should know that the panelists will of course be focusing on their experiences. For some this may make it hard to relate to, and for others it may provide insights they wouldn’t have known otherwise. I know that I expect to learn some things from perspectives I haven’t had just from listening into the virtual panel.

Very cool, wish I had known about this, I would have liked to recommend a few FRC kids I mentored in the past.

The students have expressed that they don’t want this to be the last/only one. I’ll make a note to the students to reach out to you next time for some panelist suggestions!

We were very late in getting the word out to which is 100% our fault.

Bumping - the panel is this evening (7 central) and there’s still space to sign up! Our panel has a diverse set of careers to hear from - chemistry, pharmacy, university, engineering, IT, etc.

Hope to see you there!
