Highlights from TEDxSHMS: The Rise of Humans

A student-led event, the 182 Semester class stepped up and delivered a truly high calibre experience for over 150 community members who travelled up to Caux for the Thursday evening event on November 29th, 2018.

People tend to think the success of TED or TEDx is about what happens on the stage, but it is also hidden in the audience who attend the live event. Our audience are true believers of Ideas Worth Spreading, no matter what the future will be, they don't just watch it happen, but actually want to be part of it
Long Zhou, Organiser of TEDxSHMS.
