Chase Evans and Michelle Gatchell spoke to Noor Haj-Tamim about growing up in Hilliard and how her experiences becoming a part of Hilliard City Lab. 

She said the networking alone forced her out of her comfort zone and now she is comfortable speaking on panels at events even.

She has found the benefit of networking, and values every connection she makes. 

Her passion for science, stem and space led her to become Executive Director of  the Jordan Student Space Outreach and Academic Relations organization to foster exploration in young people. 

Hear how Hilliard City Labs has helped Noor jumpstart her business Avionova which is working on a solution to help with vertigo when you are flying at high altitudes and speeds or in zero gravity. 

Chase Evans and Michelle Gatchell talk to Hilliard Company Little Seed Co-Founder and CEO Jeff Panka about his innovative company. The company creates ways to gamify things like putting an oxygen mask on and breathing or sitting through dialysis to help reduce the fear and anxiety of children facing scary situations in a doctor's office.
