[ Session Name ] Public Speaking for #STEM Pros/Communication + Diversity In #STEM
[ Primary Space ] Digital Inclusion
[ Secondary Space ] Open Innovation

[ Submitter's Name ] Lindsey Murphy
[ Submitter's Affiliated Organisation ] Murph Media/The Fab Lab

What will happen in your session?

This is an interactive public speaking and communication strategy workshop built specifically for those in #STEM fields. I will take attendees thru a series of steps they can use to become more dynamic public speakers as well as offer tips on how they can build presentations that lend themselves to diversity and inclusion efforts as a whole.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

The goal is to equip those who operate in #STEM fields with skills and a fresh point of view on their communication and style.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

A white board/giant self-sticking post-its and Sharpies would be great. A projector/screen for the presentation is most important.

Time needed

90 mins

This proposal has progressed to our next phase of deliberation! We will be following up shortly.

👍 I'm interested in this session

I'll email Lindsey about next steps.

Unfortunately, we didn't feel this session quite fit within the Digital Inclusion space this year, so I'm removing the milestone to allow other spaces to consider your proposal.

@auremoser this might be good for the Open Innovation space.

Apologies for my delayed reply on this one. I very much like this session, but I'm afraid we have no more stipends to allocate for the Open Innovation floor and our schedule is already quite full of sessions. If the session leader could operate without a stipend, I might be able to squeeze it in, but I would feel terrible asking someone to travel so far without support.

I'm removing our milestone for this reason. Thank you for your time in submitting and pinging us.

Thank you for taking the time to submit a session to MozFest. Due to the high level of submissions, we’re unable to accept all proposals and unfortunately, your session was not part of the final group.

Thank you for taking the time to submit and we will follow up on email very soon.
