IGNITE Panel Format

At your event, the Panel Facilitator will begin by introducing IGNITE and sharing some background information about gender representation and working in STEM.

During the first half of the panel, each speaker, beginning with the Lead Panelist, will answer 3-6 pre-scripted questions, time permitting, and share 1 to 2 visual aids to help students better get to know you and your jobs.

The second half of the Panel is a student-driven question and answer discussion. This is an opportunity for students to ask you their own questions, ranging from doubts or fears that they have to inquiry about the specifics of your job. This is your moment to really connect and be a mentor to IGNITE Students!

The Q&A discussion sets students’ IGNITE experience apart. We ask you to be specific and concise during introductions to maximize the time for students’ questions—questions that they won’t get to ask anywhere else!
