COOL EXPERIENCES
Leander ISD is evolving our long-standing work-based experience, known as COOL Week, as we adjust to our virtual world. This has presented an opportunity for us to begin offering COOL Experiences, a variety of platforms to engage students with potential career pathways. COOL Experiences seeks to CONNECT // EXPLORE // and INSPIRE.

COOL CONVO
COOL Convos offer a more intimate experience between students and career professionals. Facilitated via Zoom, Convos give students the chance to have a more personable conversation and ask questions about specific career paths.
COOL WEBINAR
COOL Webinars will be more of a one-way delivery of information about a career path directly from the professionals to a larger audience. Facilitated by an LISD host, students will have the chance to use the Q&A feature via Zoom to ask questions.
COOL COLLABORATION
COOL Collaborations will allow select students the opportunity to work on a hands-on project with a business partner.
