The TED story
I came into TED back in 2018 when I was asked to help jump start a TED ED Club at Colton High School. I helped found the club and in its second year I became the President. During that time, the club hosted the first ever TEDx event at our school. The event was themed and surrounded mental health and wellness. Because of its success and popularity through our community, we have decided to put on another TEDx event for 2020.
