The BISD Ignite Speaker Series will take place virtually this year on Thursday, October 29, 2020. More details to come on the virtual aspect of the event. The theme of the speaker series is “IGNITE Your Passion and Share!” This theme is purposefully broad and encompasses many subjects to allow students to speak on local, national and/or international topics, that may include social issues, education, technology, science, medicine, or any other subject a student is passionate about.
BISD IGNITE is implemented using the Discovery Education “IGNITE” format, whereby students speak for 5 minutes, from memory, about a topic of interest to them, a problem they want to solve, or a solution to a problem that no one has solved. Their speech is accompanied by 20 slides that advance automatically. The goal is to encourage students to engage in innovative thinking and inspire transformation.
If your student is interested in participating in this event, please complete the BISD IGNITE registration form below, and ask your student to forward a copy of his/her presentation to
burlesonisd.ai@bisdmail.net by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2020.
