The Wizard of Oz and S.T.E.M. Education | Annie Choo | TEDxPortland

Annie’s learning adventures into STEM parallel one of the most celebrated stories of our time, and her favorite movie, The Wizard of Oz. She encourages us to find our passion and chase our curiosity. With special thanks to the UNIVERSITY OF OREGON for presenting partnership, a world class stage design provided by HENRY V, an incredible legacy bound book provided by PREMIER and to the creative digital craft provided by ENJOY THE WEATHER. All of our Partners and event history can be found TEDxPortland.com 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.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations) Annie is another Portland wunderkind. As a junior at Lakeridge High School with an overbooked schedule, she is involved in theater, tech, mock trial, and most importantly, robotics. This year she’ll bring her vision for the future and passions for robotics, biology and engineering to the TEDxPortland stage. With youth like Annie in our midst, we dare you not to be inspired about the future. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
