Enhancing Education Through Guest Speakers: The Feed Your Brain Initiative

The Feed Your Brain initiative seeks to inspire students by bringing in guest speakers to share insights on new companies, ideas, and technologies. Initially aimed to recruit 3-5 speakers and engage 15-20 attendees per event, the project faced challenges, including scheduling only 2 speakers and achieving limited attendance. Despite this, the team's commitment to organization and communication was evident. Surveys indicated a success level of 61.1, highlighting progress while identifying areas for improvement. Future events will focus on better recruitment and communication to maximize student engagement.
