Student Club Talk
Thinking Slower, Moving Faster:
Tech & Economics
A fireside chat blending live demos, career insights, and economic perspectives on today’s technology shifts.
"Thank you so much for the event! Our members had a great time and learned a lot."
What Made This Talk Special
This wasn't another one-way information session or a speaker telling a personal story from the podium. Instead, we designed it as an intimate fireside chat between Yi Yin¹ and John McNally².
The format allowed students to sit in on a live conversation that blended personal reflections, interactive demonstrations, and candid career advice.
