TEDx is an annual convention that brings together the greatest minds of our time and provides them with a stage to present their ideas to the entire world. Speeches cover a wide range of topics including science, technology, philanthropy and philosophy. Regardless of the subject matter, all TEDx talks share a common thread, a passion for the topic. We here at LCJSMS are fortunate enough to have been licensed by TEDx to produce our own independently organized event, TEDx LCJSMS. A group of ten student presenters will be chosen and three producers will become totally responsible for the development and presentation of this event. Presenter will spend the year researching a topic of interest. The findings and conclusions yielded from this research will be presented in June through the delivery of a ten-minute speech. Producers will handle every aspect of putting on the presentation. Their responsibilities include stage design, audio and visual setups, advertising and program design. We look forward to meeting interested students at our initial meeting in mid October. Meetings will be on Friday afternoons 3:00-4:00 pm. |
