The participants from Grades IX & X in the Inter-House TED Talk Competition – the TED Conclave in Delhi School of Excellence, Banjara Hills performed exceptionally well on 10th November, 2002. They were confident, articulate, well-informed and showed poise while presenting their ideas on the topics that were given to them. They used props such as PPTs, video, paintings, flash cards to effectively put forth their views on topics such as leadership, vocational guidance, the right age to give mobile phones to children, etc. Sameeha Yasmin and Nellore Harshavardhan from Grade X won the first position, Sesha Sai from Grade X won the second position and Astik Mahapatra from Grade IX won the third position in a competition that was tough to judge.
