Young people have a lot of energy and a lot of ideas. But, sometimes that can create problems as well as solving them. Today in our series of interviews leading up to the TEDx conference in Normal, we address the idea of empowering young people to get stuff done with the head of the Action Research Center at Illinois Wesleyan University. In this conversation with Charlie Schlenker, Deborah Halperin says to help focus that energy, adults need to create a structure for youth to scaffold their efforts.
The Ted X conference is Saturday at the Normal Theater with live streaming of the panel discussions and speeches at the Bloomington Public Libraryand the Caterpillar Auditorium at ISU's College of Business.
