Taking inspiration from the international TED Talks platform, a collection of San Ramon Students will be hosting a similarly styled program, “TEDxYouth@CaliforniaHighSchool.”
Set to be held virtually on Feb. 13, TEDxYouth@CaliforniaHighSchool will feature a collection of local students, alumni and prominent community members who will work to share ideas worth spreading, with each Talk’s theme focusing on “Reflection and Reconstruction.”
“As a small, youth organization dedicated to a platform that fosters diverse, idea-focused talks that spark learning and inspiration, our goal for this event is to reach a large and diverse audience,” Co-President of TEDxCHS Annika Seo told DanvilleSanRamon.com.
“In their talks, speakers will discuss local and global issues of 2020 that have the threat to reoccur in the future, how and why an issue could potentially reoccur, and what we as a society and as individuals can do to prevent its recurrence,” SEO added.
The event’s official speaker list includes:
* Ted Lempert, Founder of ChildrenNow
* Tiffany Yu, Founder of Youth Advocates for Change
* Tiana Day, Human Rights Activist
* Kira Sano, American Cancer Society National Lead
* Sabina Zafar, San Ramon City Council member
* Madeline Harris, Cal High student speaker
* Keertana Sreekumar, Cal High student speaker
* Amol Dhaliwal, Cal High student speaker
* Tejes Srivalsan, Cal High student speaker
* Aleeza Zakai, Cal High student speaker
