Brian Matthews, MSc., BSc.
CEO & President | AddiTec (www.additec.net)

Brian Matthews has 20-years of nuclear engineering and additive manufacturing experience.  While supporting innovative nuclear projects in the USA, Brian became interested in advanced manufacturing methods as a mechanism to improve the economic case for nuclear energy and other high technology industries such as aerospace.  Brian formed a company to develop advanced additive manufacturing systems, products and services, with the goal of achieving significant cost reduction while advancing capability.  Today, AddiTec designs, builds and offers innovative additive manufacturing systems to enable 3D printing of metallic components for the aerospace, nuclear energy, and automotive industries.

Bethany Orozco
EnCorps (encorps.org)

After volunteering as a university student in the Minneapolis Public Schools, Bethany was compelled to inspire a love of math in urban students and joined Teach For America. She taught high school math and science at Da Vinci Schools in Hawthorne, California where she created project-based curriculum and connected academics to 21st century skills and real-world issues. Most recently, Bethany was a Recruiter with Partnerships to Uplift Communities Schools. She also worked to empower teacher voice in policy decisions made at the local and state levels as a Program Coordinator for Educators 4 Excellence, while simultaneously serving as a selector for Teach For America. After realizing the huge shortage for great math and science teachers, Bethany joined EnCorps to find the best and brightest talent and help them transition into careers as educators. Bethany earned her Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from the University of Minnesota and Secondary Math Teaching Credential from Loyola Marymount University.
