Our event was called: "From Seed to Tree". This theme prioritized growth: like a seed forming into a tree, passions and interest often grow until they become something wonderful. We asked our speakers to connect their talks to this theme, emphasizing the notion of evolution and hoping to inspire the young students in our audience to follow their interests!
