TED Talk Discussions​

TED Talks are videos that present a great idea in 18 minutes or less. Scientists, researchers, technologists, business leaders, artists, designers and other world experts present “Ideas Worth Spreading”: valuable new knowledge and innovative research in their fields. 
 
AAUW members listen to TED Talks on a selected theme either on their own or in a group and then meet to discuss the topic. Links to the selected TED Talks are sent to participants one week before the group meeting.
 
See the newsletter for the current schedule and how to RSVP. Meetings will be held quarterly. The selections from last year give a good overview of the type of topics covered. If you would like to host a discussion, contact Stefanie Capps.
