TEDx Coming to Val Verde Unified School District Students

TEDxYouth@ValVerde 2013 will be held Saturday, Nov. 23 at Rancho Verde High School. This independently organized event is part of the TEDx program created by the nonprofit conference and event organization, TED. TED is a wildly successful conference/event series where some of the world’s leading thinkers and doers are invited to share what they are most passionate about. “TED” stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design—three broad subject areas that are collectively shaping our future. In fact, the subjects covered at these events have become broader still, showcasing ideas that matter in any discipline. Attendees have called it “the ultimate brain spa” and “a journey into the future.” At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group setting. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where 'x' stands for an independently organized TED event. The TED conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. TEDxYouth@ValVerde is a nonprofit event organized by teachers from the Val Verde Unified School District to discuss “Ideas Worth Spreading.” Speakers apply for the opportunity to share an 18-minutes-or-less talk at the event. The talks are captured on video, live streamed on the web and shared with the community. Some featured speakers this year include: the last living descendent of the Satsuma Samurai Clan, a President/CEO of the world’s third largest comic book company, a musical composer who has created music for Disney’s "The Incredibles" and "Futurama", an author, an artist, an aerospace engineer, a professional radio disc-jockey, and others. This event is closed to the public, but all talks will be uploaded to the TEDx YouTube channel after the event.
