Sarah Konrad, Design Head and junior, tries to open her friend’s locker. Konrad said the speaker auditions have been postponed, and the club will decide on a new date soon.

According to Sarah Konrad, Design Head and junior, the TEDx leadership team postponed the speaker auditions that were scheduled for Oct. 3 to a later date that is not scheduled yet due to conflicts with the original date.

At the auditions, students will present their proposed TED talk to be eligible to be a speaker for TEDx’s upcoming January conference.

Konrad said the central topic for this conference will be “Leap Before You Look,” meaning all talks will have to relate in some way to this theme.

Allen Wheeler, TEDx sponsor and social studies teacher, said, “I definitely feel like there would be a lot of students who would like to be involved in something like this, especially something that is so student-centric with so much student leadership.”
