Flagstaff Festival of Science: W.L. Gore & Associates Keynote Presentation – Speed, Science and Human Ingenuity
September 25 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Free
Go behind the scenes of Formula 1 with technology leader Kirk Dunsavage as he explores how science, engineering, data, and human curiosity drive innovation.
From 220+ mph race cars to the lessons of Route 66, discover how creativity, resilience, and teamwork transform bold ideas into reality.
Vroom, Vroom, Vroom! The NAU Community Dance Academy will perform a ballet inspired by the keynote address. An artistic adaptation of that explores cars and transportation through movement, music, and inventive choreography. Inspired by the ways we travel, dancers transform the stage into a playful landscape of motion, momentum, and connection.
In case you cannot make it in person, follow the stream link for the Keynote Presentation (ballet is not streamed).
