Check Out the Cranbrook Schools TEDx Talks!

Cranbrook’s first-ever TEDxYouth event, was held Saturday, April 30th, at the Performing Arts Center.

TEDx was created in the spirit of TED’s mission, “ideas worth spreading.” It supports independent organizers who want to create a TED-like event in their own community. TED conferences bring together audiences and communities to share ideas and stories usually in the form of short, powerful talks.

TEDxCranbrookSchools focused on motivating and inspiring students with stories of ingenuity and creativity, the theme being Innovation: Ideas to Impact. The event explored the bold ideas that invite us to think, live, and work outside of the box. A diverse group of speakers and performers shared their talents, insights, and expertise.
