We are excited to have team of EHS students ready to lead the discussion and share their experiences with the Search and Rescue Challenge as they prepare for competition.”
A TED Talk is a video created from a presentation at the main TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) conference or one of its many satellite events around the world. The first TED conference was in 1984; the conference has been held annually since 1990. Over the years, presenters of TED Talks have included Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Bono, Jane Goodall, Malcolm Gladwell and Gordon Brown.
