What is so unique about the TEDxYouth@Austin event?

TEDxYouth@Austin is organized and produced by a dedicated team of youth leaders with key oversight from experienced adult mentors.

We believe that our event has the ability to change the way today's youth- the leaders of tomorrow- engage with the world around them.
