The Library
hosted this fantastic event this week. Its mission was to promote curiosity,
provide entertainment and inspire each of us to “think outside the box”. There
was a different theme every day.
Monday was all about positive inspiration with Talks for When You’re Just Done with Earth;
Tuesday
provided motivation (and cupcakes!) with Talks to Watch during Breakfast;
Wednesday
passed on amazing facts and discoveries with Talks to Inspire Smart
Conversation;
Thursday
provided (weird) food for thought with The Apocalypse Survival Guide;
Friday
promoted a sense of wonder and curiosity with Where Do Ideas Come From?
The
guessing competition saw boys developing complex mathematical theorems and
asking philosophical questions about just how many snakes can fit into a jar!
The TED photo booth was a hit and we had some live TED-talks too. Mr Barnes
passed on the secrets of ten-minute meditation, leading students in some
effective de-stressing techniques. Ms Anagnostopoulos shared her extensive
knowledge of manga, a hugely popular yet often misunderstood art-form. Mr Dixon
encouraged students to think outside the box. His selection of weird and
wonderful items from some of his many collections were held up for analysis and
boys were asked “What on earth is this?”
Overall TED week was a great success,
enjoyed by teachers and students alike.
Many thanks to Ms. Mileto who organised the week.
