TEDxKids@SMU is a one-of-a-kind experience and the first ever TED-style conference for kids. Middle school students in 6th, 7th and 8th grade from across North Texas come to the Dallas City Performance Hall on Friday, October 31st in the Arts District to engage with big ideas and great conversations. This day is dedicated to kids; adults are asked to sit in the balcony while high school volunteer hosts sit with the students on the main floor. During the breaks the energy and raw curiosity of 550 young minds all in one room is contagious: Ideas are presented on stage then debated with the speaker, partners demonstrate the latest technology and teach creative expression, all while future leaders are being formed. The experience is free of charge and, in return, each student gives four hours of service back to their community.
Now that’s an idea worth spreading.
