                                                        TEDxLagunaBlancaSchool was so much
                                                        more than a speaking engagement. It was
                                                        a day-long intellectual carnival, with “mind
                                                        gymnastics” offe ed not just on-stage, but
                                                        throughout  the  event  space.  Students’
                                                        work also included:

                                                        •  An  interactive  wall-size  mural  (p.7)
                                                        where  visitors  could  write  thoughts  on
                                                        how  they  could  evolve  personally,  in  the
                                                        community, and in the world. The result
                                                        was  a  creative  piece  of  thoughtful  and
                                                        inspired art.

                                                        •  A  second  interactive  wall  where  the
                                                        entire  community  could  create  good
                                                        vibes—and  make  a  diffe ence.  Guests
                                                        were  encouraged  to  write  notes  on  the
                                                        wall  of  how  they  were  willing  to  help  or
                                                        to offer words of encouragement for those
                                                        dealing with trauma or tragedy.
                                                        • A queue of interactive booths, operated

                                                        and Kona Ice. A few crowd favorites: SB
