TEDx
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* We have gathered here the TEDx greatest hits of STEM and STEAM.

This video is part of a co-funded campaign to inspire math, science, tech, and engineering undergraduates and recent graduates to consider a career in teaching. The United States hasn’t exactly been the sharpest bulb in the knife shed when it comes to international rankings in math and science. Let’s change that by recruiting more excellent STEM teachers.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. “Building Against Stereotypes” is a presentation by Stephanie Qian about the current roles women and girls have in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. It defines and identifies the source of gender inequality as stereotype threaten the social norms that we have created. This TEDx Talk also touches upon the topic of feminism, acknowledging equality for not just women, but for both genders. To solve these issues, this presentation introduces ideas and suggestions to abolish our current gender-biased society that favors one gender over the other in select situations.
Stephanie Qian is currently a sophomore in Whitney High School. She has been a member of WHS Robotics Club for four years now and was on both an FLL and FTC team. Along with her passion for robotics, she enjoys public speaking and discussing various topics through programs such as Model United Nations and Pen on Paper's Discussion Group. She enjoys engaging with her community through STEM related events and Builders Club. Stephanie is honored and excited to be a student speaker for Whitney High School's first TEDx event.

The U.S. needs the contributions of all of our thinkers and problem-solvers. By the numbers girls make up more than one-half of our home-grown talent base — the half we have discouraged in STEM/science, technology, engineering and math. In this inspiring talk, education expert Heidi Olinger outlines the four things we must do to engage girls in STEM right now in the Digital Age, when neither girls nor the nation can afford to be STEM illiterate.

National Teacher of the Year Finalist, Rob Stephenson, presents instructional strategies and the integration of STEM education challenges in his third grade classroom. He articulates why STEM education needs to become a part of every child's learning experience at home, at school, and within the community. Mr. Stephenson gives stakeholders practical advice on how adults can foster and protect children's natural desire to discover and invent in order to stimulate the next generation of perseverant problem-solvers.
Rob is the 2010 National Teacher of the Year Finalist, 2009-2010 Michigan Teacher of the Year, 2006 Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching, SMART Exemplary Educator, and WKAR PBS Television "Science Minute" Host.

Brent Bushnell and Eric Gradman, co-founders of LA-based Two Bit Circus, energize their audience with the STEAM Carnival, a way to make entertainment more enriching and education more fun. Armed with the knowledge that the U.S. may be short as many as three million high-skills workers by 2018, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math need to get more interesting in order to attract students to those fields of study. Bushnell and Gradman share their stories about how the need for art and creativity drove them from their "real jobs" to a job they can't get enough of.
