Cassidy Puckett
Title of Talk : Redefining Geek: What it means to be Good with Technology
Dr. Cassidy Puckett invites us to redefine âgeekâ by thinking differently about what it means to be good with technology and who that includes. Dr. Cassidy Puckett is a former middle school technology teacher and sociologist who studies the relationship between technological change and inequality in education, occupations, and healthcare. Her research has been funded by the U.S. Department of Education, the National Science Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. She is the author of Redefining Geek: Bias and the Five Hidden Habits of Tech-Savvy Teens (UChicago Press) which takes a close empirical look at what it means to be good with technology, unpacking what is often thought of as the ânaturalâ ability of younger generations.

What is TEDx? â In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.Our event is called TEDxBloomington, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxBloomington event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
