From morning to night, in one of the most exquisite performance halls of the Central Coast, was a parade of "Ideas Worth Spreading", by presenters worth sharing. Check out the TEDx American Riviera website for access to the presentations. The Teen Press got a closer look at some of the ideas & presenters, as well as the perspective of some of the lucky attendees.

After his evening presentation, Mark, Lily, & Deryn talked with adventurer and architect Barry Berkus ask about his field, his words, and his...shoes. Red shoes.
