Abstract
This paper narrates a year-long creative exploration of New College’s inaugural TEDx. TEDxNewCollegeofFlorida was an experiment in utilizing incentive prizes and emerging technologies to create a culture of innovation and creative collaboration within a small, liberal arts college. This paper will provide a comprehensive examination of the creative accomplishments and failures that went into the formation of the event, as well as the original vision and purpose of the effort as a whole. Finally, this paper looks toward the future of New College, detailing the bold initiation of New College’s Virtual Reality Lab and the continual pursuit of moonshot ideas. Attached to this document is the visual / audio documentation of TEDxNewCollegeofFlorida. All videos and further information can also be found online at tedxnewcollegeofflorida.com
