 * **Spirit/purpose:** Your TEDx event must maintain the spirit of TED itself: cross-disciplinary, focused on the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world.


 * **Format:** A suite of short, carefully prepared talks, demonstrations and performances on a wide range of subjects to foster learning, inspiration and wonder -- and to provoke conversations that matter. The typical presentation should be an 18-minute talk by a single presenter. The typical presentation should be an 18-minute talk by a single presenter. No panels. No break-out sessions. Usually: No podium. A short, [|official TEDx video introduction] must be played at the beginning of each TEDx event.

email Ryan at greenschools@maeoe.org ||< We'll be taking the lead from the youth in Ghana Africa who hosted the first TEDxYouthInspire event at the beginning of April - See http://tedxyouthinspire.org/speakers/ to see a list of presenters/speakers - Ryan's favorite was the Asanti Dance Theatre

In anticipation for November 20th to be TEDx Youth day I'll be talking to an organizer on May 4th to see how they can help us organize and publicize what we hope will become an annual event - TEDxYouth@MDGreenSchools. We hope learning from Ghana and hosting this preliminary event we will inspire others in the US and around the globe for there to be as many TEDx youth events around the world on Nov 20th.

There is a TEDxY google group for organizers of youth events.

Sign up for the google group: @http://groups.google.com/group/tedxy ||< 100 ||< 1.5 hrs (18min limit on speakers) ||< Must have video showing and video recording equipment. See more here: http://tedxyouthinspire.org/about-ted/ ||

 * IDEAS FOR 2011 ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * < **Teambuilding workshop** ||< basically 3hrs of low ropes-type activities. Try to recruit multiple kids (and even teachers) from same school- keep them together during activities - Contact Venture Crew Carrol County ||<  ||< 3hrs ||< Outdoor ||
 * < **The Next Step** ||< workshop where kids from schools who want to develop green actions can sit down with folks who have knowledge of what grants are available, what actions are most effective, etc. Part of the activity could be developing a strategic plan such as develop an environmental footprint for the school, identify areas where opportunity is greatest, plan actions geared at taking advantage of those opportunities, and getting max publicity and behavior change from those actions - Contact Venture Crew Carrol County ||<  ||<   ||< Pavilion ||
 * < **Visioning workshop** ||< I dea for this is that leadership starts with conveying a vision to others and inspiring them to take action. I (Paul K) have a number of video clips that are good examples. Other parts could include looking at mission statements for a couple of organizations and then working to develop a vision for their school for for education in MD. These could then be presented to the Governor - Contact Venture Crew Carrol County ||<  ||<   ||< Pavilion/Indoor

 * < **Change Happens** ||< This workshop would be a primer on how to effectively brief and interact with elected officials, school boards, etc. Examples of successful students could be presented, followed by students preparing a mock briefing in front of an adult panel (ideally actual elected officials or school board members) ||<  ||<   ||<   ||
 * < LOCALISMO??? and Leadership 101 ||< Make local connections and applications. Focus on the here and now, but with definite goals for the future. before starting global connections by first becoming aware of local issues. Leaders will need strong collaboration skills, organization skills, and goal-setting strategies. - Contact "Science MOM" ||<  ||<   ||<   ||
