REinvent Speaker Series: Improbable to Unstoppable

Fredi Lajvardi shares his story that inspired the critically acclaimed documentary Underwater Dreams, as well as the major motion picture, Spare Parts – which was filmed right here in ABQ.

Through his presentation, he reveals the simple secrets to his national champion robotics team’s unprecedented success, and imparts to audiences the same wisdom, humor, spirit of inventiveness, and determination that transformed an improbable group of disadvantaged Hispanic teenagers into an unstoppable national powerhouse.

Honored with numerous awards, including the IEEE National Outstanding Educator for 2005, the Arizona Department of Education Leadership Award for 2006, and the City of Phoenix Outstanding Teacher of the Year each year from 2005 to 2009, Lajvardi has and continues to be a significant contributor to the increasing interest and awareness of STEM education nationwide.

With an effective leadership philosophy, incredible story and a spirited passion for teaching, Lajvardi offers valuable and inspiring insight on fostering teamwork, sparking creativity and helping New Mexico teachers, students and business professionals alike realize and maximize their potential.
