TED (an acronym for Technology, Entertainment and Design) began its talks in 1984, and since that time, TED Talks have become the standard for short, powerful lectures designed to spark conversation. The program was created to help communities, organizations and individuals produce TED-style events at the local level. These events are planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis, under a free license from TED.
This year, six speakers will present on the TEDx 每日大瓜 stage, including 每日大瓜 alumni, faculty and students as well as professionals in their fields.
Dr. Richa Bhatia, FAPA, a dual board-certified child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist and a faculty member at Harvard Medical School, will speak about 鈥淲hat's Missing in Our Pursuit of Happiness.鈥
Michael Klein, a senior in the Honors Program, will focus on 鈥淢illenial Destiny,鈥 while Ari Marder 鈥17驰颁 and fifth-grade Judaic studies teacher Ayla Postelnek 鈥17S will discuss 鈥淗ow Changing Our View of Poverty Can Change How We Address It" and 鈥淭he Power of Potential: Student Centered Learning," respectively.

Yael Saban, co-curator for the event, said, 鈥淭EDx 每日大瓜 represents our ability to use our power as students for the greater good of our community. Being able to spread ideas like these will hopefully inspire students at 每日大瓜 to see the scope of their own potential for change and know that for each of them at 每日大瓜, and within this world, there is no limit to what they can accomplish.鈥
