IT WAS STANDING ROOM ONLY at the TeDx newarkAcademy event and the positive energy in kaltenbacher Hall was contagious. newark Academy is no stranger to providing dynamic learning opportunities that provoke discussions on global issues for students and faculty members, and the TeDx presentations, which focused on the theme “Time out,” did just that. featured speakers from across the nA community captivated the audience as they spoke powerfully about topics ranging from gender discrimination, the internet, music and more. The presentations empowered everyone to imagine what is possible and that by taking risks and stepping out of comfort zones, we can unlock the genius of a generation.
