Meet Technology Pros and Ask them Anything about their Careers

The Future Forward series is an explorative experience for students to envision their future selves. Each Thursday, a panel of professionals will discuss different themes that give students access to new perspectives and ideas of building their own journeys to the future, in a meaningful and intentional way.

Each event is designed and hosted by student interns with the support of Mouse and NYC's Division of Informational and Instruction Technology (DIIT).

Attendees will:

• Meet a panel of professionals with applied technology careers
• Participate in an "Ask Me Anything"-style Q&A with the experts where you can add and up-vote your favorite questions
• Get follow-up activity ideas to dig deeper into each career
