TEDx at Menlo College
TEDxMenloCollege will explore the relationship between technology, culture, and society with the goal of answering the question: how do we build the America of tomorrow? We are now firmly in an epoch of humanity defined by our relationship to technology and where actions in one corner of the planet can be immediately felt around the world. However, we are just coming to terms with this reality and the impact rapid change has on our own humanity.
 
Please join Menlo College in its first-ever TEDx event on  Saturday, September 21, 2019 from 11 am to 4 pm .
