Talk to Save the World - Mike Coia (Junior, Mechanical Engineering)



Give the best, most inspirational talk of your life in 18 minutes or less.  That’s the challenge given by TED to the speakers invited to go onstage.  People like Bill Gates, Al Gore, and other great thinkers and doers have gone on stage and told their story. Any topic you can think of has been talked about, from new batteries to playing the piano.  The message is always the same: A idea worth sharing.

Just because you weren’t invited doesn’t mean you can be a part of this, however; TED puts all of their talks online for anyone to watch.  Now, watching videos online is great, but what if you could actually attend one of these awesome conferences?
 
At Penn State, you can be a part of this amazing experience.  TEDxPSU is just one of the many things that set Penn State apart, and it is definitely one of my favorite.  It started back in the fall of 2010 and has become something I look forward to every year.  These events are free, all you need to do is go to TEDxPSU.com and register to attend, which is definitely worth it.  Just hearing to the speakers talk in such an intimate setting is something that sends chills down my spine, and I can’t wait for March 17th!
