TEDxAlgonquin* is happening in less than a month! A lot of preparations are needed to make this event successful…including building the set design for the stage. The AC Hub hosted an information planning session on Oct. 16 for interested students to learn more and brainstorm ideas for the set design. What better way to engage our college students than to host a set design competition? This is a fantastic opportunity for students to showcase their creativity and design skills for an event that reflects the spirit of the world renowned TED talks series.
