The Biotech Career Workshop, located at Pegasus Park in Dallas, TX, is an immersive, full-day experience designed specifically for underserved students to foster their interest in biotechnology and entrepreneurship. It aims to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to pursue successful careers in the biotech industry while encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship.
The day is thoughtfully crafted to provide hands-on learning opportunities, interactive sessions, and engaging discussions to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. During the workshop, students will tour BioLabs, hear from a panel of biotech professionals and entrepreneurs about careers, be presented with a community health problem, and take part in a team project that will "pitch" a solution — the formation of a company, nonprofit or campaign — to solve the real-world public health problem.
Volunteers are asked to serve ninety minutes to judge students' pitches and share significant lessons acquired during their careers. We will need nine volunteers per event.
