Speaker Sessions
planned

I think it would be cool if Schoolhouse as an organization could invite successful people to speak about what they do in a series, about interesting topics that they're at the top of their fields in. It would be a great way for students to learn more about various subjects, careers, and stuff like that. We could alternatively just have a QnA with a professional from some field. It would be great to meet interesting professionals and learn about what they do! I suppose tutors could do this by themselves, but it would be great if Schoolhouse itself started something like that, because they have much more validity and a far greater reach than an individual here!

Alyssa V: Can this be marked "In Progress" now, given Drew's Q&A with Arne Duncan, your session ft. Gabrielle, and Akshay's sessions featuring UChicago admissions experts and an illustrator? All these sessions are precisely the sort of guest expert sessions Nithilan suggested!

Nithilan R I love this idea, and I think this one is in my wheelhouse! I'm going to change the status to Planned for now because I think it would be great for learners this school year

Yes, great idea! It's just a matter of the time it takes to find and build relationships. Even better, we'd love if y'all could help out by finding cool people in your networks, and encouraging them to host a session on Schoolhouse. On our end, we can be sure to feature those sessions for everyone to see, and even market them on social media etc.

Akshay Ravikumar: I might be able to get a few interesting people to speak if there's an interested audience
