  • If selected, I am open to being coached by Math Bridge executives on both my content and presentation style.

  • As part of this program, we not only want to create an impact on high school students, but it is important to us to also provide growth for our speakers. For this reason, you will be required to attend at least one SpeakWestern workshop during the year if you are selected to be a speaker for Math Bridge.

    These sessions are held almost once monthly and will likely be between 1-2 hours. You can attend whichever sesison is most convenient for you. More information about these sessions will be provided to you if you are selected to be a speaker.

    Additionally, speakers also must attend a 30 minute coaching session with Math Bridge executives before their first talk at a high school to receive feedback.

  • I understand that I will be required to attend at least one SpeakWestern workshop during the year and a 30 minute coaching session if selected to be a speaker.

    • The audition (30 minutes)
    • At least one SpeakWestern workshop (1-2 hours)
    • Coaching session (30 minutes)
    • The actual talk at the high school 
  • MEDIA RELEASE: I consent to photos and videos being taken of me during my audition, the coaching session, and the talk at the high school. I give Math Bridge permission to use this media for advertising and marketing purposes on the organization's website and social media pages.
