With over 100 patents, and 48 years of technical experience, Lanny Smoot has created some of Disney Experiences’ most magical special effects, including Madame Leota’s Haunted Mansion levitating crystal ball, the real-life lightsabers found in Disney’s Star Wars attractions, and more. Along with discussing how science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) come together to create unforgettable theme park experiences, he will share some advice on starting on a successful career path, how to remain successful, and how to have fun all along the way! Lanny will be sharing some of his experience as a theatrical technology creator, inventor, electrical engineer, scientist, and researcher. For youth ages 10-18.
