Emily Calandrelli talked about the importance of STEM education during the Feb. 12 event.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The five talks from February\u2019s TEDx event at the LaSells Stewart Center are now online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The speakers are media executive Hanson Hosein, fashion designer Michelle Lesniak, Grameen Foundation David Edelstein, OSU Honors College senior Matthew Kaiser and TV producer\/host and former NASA engineer Emily Calandrelli.<\/p>\n

A sellout crowd of 1,200 attended TEDxOregonStateU on Feb. 12, an event whose theme was \u201cDisruption: Revolutionary and influential ideas worth spreading.\u201d<\/p>\n

College of Business student Aaron LaVigne, along with College of Science student Dustin Hernandes and recent OSU graduate Vinay Bikkina, organized the event. In addition to the five live speakers there were two TED videos that also challenged the audience to think in ways they possibly hadn\u2019t before, such as:<\/p>\n

Is while you\u2019re still single the best time to work on your marriage?<\/p>\n

Are mobile phones a game-changer for the financial services industry?<\/p>\n

Do you know when it\u2019s time to \u201cdrop the mic\u201d and walk away?<\/p>\n

One of the videos showed author Malcolm Gladwell speaking about how market researcher Howard Moskowitz changed the American food industry\u2019s approach to meeting consumer needs, from a universal strategy to a taste-specific one, via a detailed study of spaghetti sauce. The other one featured psychologist Meg Jay, who specializes in helping people not to look at their 20s as a throwaway decade.<\/p>\n

As for the live speakers, Calandrelli talked about the importance of STEM literacy; David Edelstein predicted mobile phones will change the way people bank; Lesniak described the emotive power of clothes; OSU Honors College student Matthew Kaiser spoke on bioengineering while asking if humanity is \u201cready for an upgrade\u201d; and Hosein talked about the value of passion, dedication, collaboration and knowing when it\u2019s time to \u201cdrop the mic\u201d and walk toward your next challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re starting to get all students to think about all these new disruptive ideas, to think about other areas than what they study,\u201d Bikkina said. \u201cThis lets OSU become a hub for disruptive ideas and become known as a place where ideas generate that are TED worthy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Fernandes, LaVigne and Bikkina will all have graduated by the time the next school year begins, the date is secured (Feb. 11) and planning is already under way for the 2016 edition of TEDxOregonStateU.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
