Hi everyone- I am a senior at the Denver School of Science and Technology. As part of our graduation requirement, all seniors must complete a senior project. This includes a product, paper, and presentation. For my senior project I am putting on my own TEDx event. It’s a big project, and I need a strong team to help me be successful with this. Right now, I am looking at putting on an event one night during the week for a few hours, but I would really like it to be an all-day event during the school day. My theme is people, passion, and perspective. I am looking for people who work well in groups, are hard workers, and can balance the workload of preparing for a TED event along with their other commitments. I am looking for people who are skilled in set and stage design, graphic design, social media promotion, audio and visual technology, event planning, and communications who would be willing to help me make this event successful. I am also looking for speakers who would be willing to put together an 8-10 minute presentation about anything you are passionate about. If you are interested, I will provide more information as the planning process progresses. Please PM me if you are interested or have any resources for me! Sincerely, Kimi McBryde About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.) About TED TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with many initiatives. At a TED conference, the worlds leading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes or less. TED speakers have included Roger Ebert, Sheryl Sandberg, Bill Gates, Elizabeth Gilbert, Benoit Mandelbrot, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Brian Greene, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Three major TED events are held each year: The TED Conference takes place every spring in Vancouver, Canada, simultaneous with TEDActive, in Whistler, BC; and the TEDGlobal Conference takes place each summer in Edinburgh, Scotland. On TED, talks from TED conferences are shared with the world for free as TED Talks videos. A new TED Talk is posted every weekday. Through the Open Translation Project, TED Talks are subtitled by volunteers worldwide into more than 90 languages. Through our distribution networks, TED Talks are shared on TV, radio, Netflix and many websites. The TEDx initiative grants free licenses to people around the world to organize TED-style events in their communities with TED Talks and live speakers. More than 5,000 TEDx events have been held, and selected talks from these events are also turned into TED Talks videos. The annual TED Prize grants $1 million to an exceptional individual with a wish to change the world. The TED Fellows program helps world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities. TED-Ed creates short video lessons by pairing master teachers with animators, for use in classroom instruction or independent learning.
