Lamar Academy’s International Baccalaureate Programme in McAllen ISD will have a new TED-Ed Club to start the new school year.

Students Sophia Niño and Riya Manohar were recently given the approval to host The TED-Ed Club program that supports students in discovering, researching, exploring, and presenting their unique ideas in the form of short, TED-style talks. The club will focus on TED-Ed’s public speaking curriculum and provide opportunities to connect with a global network of passionate youth about ideas worth sharing.

Students’ talks will be featured on the TED-Ed YouTube channel so that their ideas can be shared with their community and the world. The most compelling speakers from TED-Ed Clubs could even be invited by TED-Ed to New York.
