Boettcher Foundation has partnered with TEDxMileHigh in organizing an experience to tap into our child-like wonder to dream about the future. Virtual TEDxMileHigh: Rise will take place from 5 - 8 p.m. on Saturday, August 29, with a post-event virtual get-together from 8 - 9 p.m. It calls us to solve challenges with new technology, engage peaceful alternatives to violence, create innovative design, improve our environment with scientific research, and form communities that are strong because of their diversity. Rise invites us to shed limitations and envision possibilities. 

Scholars are invited to join other members of the public for a series of videos and live speakers combined to spark deep discussion and connection. Following the TEDx Event, we will be led by TEDxMileHigh staff through a series of discussion prompts to help us further our understanding of the topics brought to light.
