🚀 I'm famous! 🚀 Okay not really, but... Yesterday I had the incredible (and I really do mean incredible) opportunity to speak on the main stage of the 2024 NACCE Annual Conference in Minneapolis Minnesota about my experience with SolveCC. The conference is a recurring gathering of community college educators with entrepreneurial mindsets from across the country, and not somewhere I would normally picture myself attending much less presenting at. The reason I was able to go is because of my involvement with SolveCC at Modesto Junior college, where my student led team won a series of challenges in which we identified a problem in our community and then proposed and implemented a solution. We ended up winning first place, and since then have become more involved with the organization that hosted the challenges itself… so much so that they asked myself and several other students to present our experience with the SolveCC competition at NACCE. It was amazing to be able to give back to an organization that’s been so instrumental in my life, and simultaneously have the opportunity to experience this event and network with so many incredible people. If you or a student you know are interested in participating in the next solveCC challenge (open to all students), myself and members of my company Visions to Visuals worked with SolveCC to put together this website where you can get involved: https://lnkd.in/g-V-nEqd Here’s my few minutes of fame on the conference’s main stage if you’re interested in watching!
