A group of WAB students made history as they took the school's annual TEDx event online for the first time due to campus closures.

Students from Western Academy of Beijing and several other international schools in the city presented "ideas worth sharing," covering  a diverse range of topics, including how to use occupational psychology in order to improve the efficiency of group work and how artificial intelligence will influence our economies in the future.

If you missed the live presentation on Saturday, you can visit this TEDx website the group created specifically to share their ideas and help make their voices heard. You can watch each presentation in full.

Originally planned as a live event on WAB's campus, the team of student organizers re-designed the TEDx event to fit our current online context.

In front of more than 70 people online, student presenters gave a 2-minute synopsis of their full presentation and then invited the audience to break out to watch the full presentations and have smaller discussion groups.

"On top of wanting to empower students to share their ideas and thoughts, we also want to show how, collaboratively, we can overcome challenge," said Katarina K., who is organizing and hosting the event as MC. "We felt that this was a way in which we, as well as students in schools outside of WAB, could demonstrate a different, and louder voice.
