The Firewalking Rocket Scientist-Noah Housley

Houston, we have a solution! In a rapidly evolving world, the ability to solve every day problems creatively has never been more critical. With new challenges emerging every day, those who master innovative problem-solving are launched into success. Noah’s engaging and transformative keynote will empower college students with simple techniques inspired by rocket scientist skills to help them solve every day problems by defining, designing, and doing. They will discover how to tap into their creative genius, build desired skills, and accelerate themselves into a successful future.
Some believe that creativity is something you’re born with, this is wrong! In this engaging workshop, Noah shows you that creativity can be developed and grown just like a muscle. He will teach college students how to access their creative power, improve it, and use it to get ahead in life.
Through his own techniques that he’s developed through countless innovative projects on the forefront of space, he can teach any student to maximize their creative genius!

My name is Noah Housley, I'm a PhD student studying Hypersonics. I have been in many aerospace projects including building aircraft, satellites, and rovers. I have also been involved in many areas of innovative research including super hydrophobic surfaces, automated carbon fiber manufacturing, small satellite thermal control, and hypersonic objects.
During all these projects I have had to deal with very complex problems. Most of these areas of research are ground breaking, meaning that some of the problems I have faced were never before seen. Through all of these projects I became a master problem solver. It’s obvious I have a love for aerospace, so I also got my private pilots license which taught me even more problem solving skills.
My main goal in life is to become an astronaut, and I believe I’m well on my way. I’ve been married for 4 years and I am a father to a stillborn daughter. I am a competitive swimmer and love to swim when I can, I love spending time with family, and I love to explore with my wife.

Wireless microphone preferred. House lights on enough to see audience from stage. Audience as close to the front as possible. a bottled water, colder room temperature, HDMI hook up if available, and WI-FI.
