Hey, Happy Friday Columbus. Zoey here.

TEDx Worthington will be in full swing this Saturday. "Interference", the theme for this year's public speaking event, will be explored by a variety of hosts and special guests.  If you're unfamiliar with a TEDx function, they serve as locally organized events meant to share and delve into a variety of concepts and ideas.

TED, the older, international sibling of TEDx, was created in an effort to communicate and publicize "Ideas Worth Spreading". Columbus Navigator's Chelsea Wiley, gives you the low-down on this year's TEDx and on TED talks in general.
