We regret to announce that our TEDxFSCJ Wonder event, scheduled for April 4, 2020, has been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. In the months ahead, we will announce a rescheduled date, but current uncertainties prevent us from doing so at this time. Thank you for supporting TEDxFSCJ and for your dedication to ideas worth spreading.

Our oceans are home to more than a million species.
For the people of our region, the ocean is especially meaningful. For some, it’s a way of life; for others, it’s a day at the beach; but for all of us, the ocean connects us and our communities—from the Caribbean archipelagos to the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of Florida. Yet human activity threatens the long-term survival of this vast ecosystem, forcing us to ask: What can we do to preserve the natural beauty and biodiversity of our ocean waters?
Join TEDxFSCJ for Vanishing Worlds, an adventure event exploring the underwater-themed paintings of Edmari Hernandez Silen. Hernandez’s exhibit, A/Hogar, is currently on display at the FSCJ Deerwood Center and serves as impetus and inspiration for our conversation. Over the course of the evening, our panel of experts will address how the ocean connects us to a wider set of meanings and memories and how both art and science can inspire us to understand, appreciate, and better protect our ocean habitats.
tedxfscj adventure: unmasked
Comics, cosplay, and conventions have become defining icons of today’s popular culture.
Join TEDxFSCJ for Unmasked, an adventure event exploring the themes, identities, and fandoms that define nerd culture.
Hosted by The Short Box podcast’s Badr Milligan and Cesar Cordero, we will look behind the mask in discussing how this culture functions at once as lifestyle and marketplace; how comic books and TV intersect; how comic culture empowers minority storytelling; and how comic-cons and e-sports have reinvented community and belonging.
TEDXFSCJ ADVENTURE: ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE
Access to quality healthcare shouldn’t be a luxury. However, in the U.S. the wealth-health gap is increasing––forcing many to choose between medications and food. Despite having the highest per capita health expenditures of all developed nations, the U.S. has slipped to the lowest rankings in health outcomes and equity.
