Theme: Coming of Age in the 21st Century

For our school's first venture into the world of TEDx, we have assembled a group of the most gifted and dynamic students in the world to develop, produce, promote and present their own TEDx program. Students began their journey in September as they auditioned to be a presenters and producers of the event. Those selected have been working diligently ever since. Ten presenters spent months researching, conducting experiments, crafting speeches and rehearsing their deliveries. Simultaneously, producers handled every facet of running the program. Doing so included building a stage and rear projection screen, working on sound and lighting, facilitating the presentation of slideshows, reaching out to the community for their participation, bringing in secondary acts such as musicians and dancers, and creating a program. It's been a truly amazing experience to witness fifteen 7th and 8th grade students create what is sure to be an incredible event.
