WHAT’S YOUR PASSION?

Is it making paper airplanes? Maybe you’re designing your own video game. Perhaps you volunteer at an animal shelter and it’s changed your life. Whatever it is, we want to hear it!

Our goal is to bring together bright minds to give idea-centric, TEDxLFHS student talks on a wide range of subjects. We hope to foster learning, inspiration and wonder – and provoke conversations that matter. What’s your passion, and what’s your story? How can your ideas inspire young people and ensure a promising future for everyone?

We are asking for a brief, 1 minute video (about 150 words) that gives us a taste of what you would bring to the TEDxLFHS stage. Use your phone, a webcam, a video camera - whatever works best for you - and upload it to YouTube. Show us who you are, and tell us about your idea worth spreading.

What is TEDx?: In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxLakeForestHighSchool, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxLakeForestHighSchool event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
