We have a need for our 9th Grade TEDx Event! Get your volunteer hours!

We could use some help helping kids craft visual messages around social justice issues for their TEDx lighting structures.  We need more help with the design aspect but anyone willing to help with the building or circuitry would be awesome too! I would love parents to critique individuals or with small groups, and help guide students in creating a lighting structure that sends a clear, strong message.  Thanks!!!
