ISPP hosted our first ever TEDxISPP event on November 14th with the theme "Made in the Future," inspired by TEDYouth 2015 . Our aim was to give youth in Phnom Penh a voice, and to bring student ideas into meaningful conversations. In addition to our own students, we invited student speakers from Liger Learning Center , Northbridge , and Logos . Next year we hope to also include students from the Cambodian Children's Fund .

When you are trying to answer a big question, there are often so many areas to research that developing an intelligent answer that considers a wide variety of information and perspectives can be overwhelming. Researching in teams and dividing the topics for research can be a great way to gather resources and learn more in less time. In education, we call this the jigsaw method .

The Secondary floor of the Knowledge Center now has a Media Studio with a green wall.  The green paint extends to adjacent walls so media creators can get corner shots.

Meaningful integration ideas include creating newscasts set during historical events, advertising a product with student created background, setting scenes that give purpose for speaking in different languages, building conceptual understanding of time and place, experimenting with the role of context, and defying laws of physics. Community members can book the Media Studio by going to their calendars, creating an event, clicking on rooms to the right next to guests, and scrolling to KC - SS Media Lab.  Here's a video about booking rooms for events .
