UNCHARTED
TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, 2019
TEDxLagunaBlancaSchool is a daylong conference that features live presenters and performers, as well as interactive art galleries and booths from local organizations and businesses.
Entirely produced by a team of Laguna Blanca students, this professional-level TEDx event gives occasion for "ideas worth spreading."
This year, the theme is UNCHARTED.
In an age of unprecedented discovery, join us as we map unknown territory a
cross science, art, technology, culture, space, and time.
