PRESIDENT’S BREAKFAST CLUB:
SPEAKER SERIES

The Webber Academy President’s Breakfast Club Speaker Series is a live keynote event in our Performing Arts Theatre multiple times a year. Senior School students are invited to enjoy a breakfast by Chef Thuy and her team before heading into the theatre to hear a special guest present. The speakers are selected by the administration team at Webber Academy and are chosen based on relevance, inspiration, knowledge, and life lessons that would be valuable for the senior school student population to hear. The event has been taking place at Webber Academy for more than a decade and has featured a past prime minister, an astronaut, CEOs, musicians, entrepreneurs, doctors, authors, scientists, and more.

December President’s Breakfast Club Speaker Series:

On Tuesday, December 3, 2024 we were joined by Webber Academy alumni, Jacob Koickel, and his SOAR teammates. The Student Organization For Aerospace Research (SOAR) is a University of Calgary based aerospace initiative made up of over 90 members determined to further research in rocketry, aerospace, and engineering. With their next rocket Athena, they will be the most advanced student-designed hybrid in North America. Targeting 100,000 ft of altitude, Athena will be the continent’s highest hybrid to date, demanding the development of type IV COPVs, in-house main engine valves, and an in-house embedded RTOS to achieve this goal.
