Michael Thuis is a first-generation college student currently within his third year pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. He hopes to carry his degree and experience into a career doing research and development, within the government or industry sectors, specifically with thin film electrical materials. Noteably, Michael has served as a FAB for the [[Silicon Valley Meetup|2019 Silicon Valley Meetup]], helped plan the 2018 Mile High Meetup, and traveled to [https://www.sxsw.com/ SXSW 2019] as part of the UIF contingent. Michael is a proud founder of CANARY, a company with the mission of protecting people from harmful air pollution by intergrating protection into everyday clothing.
Michael was a member of the Spring 2019 FAB cohort, where he gave an ignite titled "[https://youtu.be/bN0im2iHHx8 Building Bridges: How to turn Adversaries into Allies]". For the 2018 Mile High Regional Meetup, Michael was tasked with coordinating most of the logistics and expenditures behind the event. He is currently working on an "active symbols" project, where students are encouraged to create pieces of art that represent their vision of entreprenuership and innovation. These pieces will be displayed, permanently, at several locations around campus. Michael is also coordinating with the Colorado School of Mines alumni organization to start MinesTalks, a speaker series where alumni will be returning to share their stories, concerning entreprenuership and mental health, with current students.
