TEDxYouth@Austin

So what's with all this TEDx chit chat?
Trust us, you want to be in the loop.

Surely you've heard of TED Talks, powerful and captivating videos of extraordinary speakes
from all backgrounds and cultures. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design, and
this global nonprofit organization is the devoted powerhouse behind a welcoming community
of inspired thinkers and curious learners. The x in TEDx is for "independent," and TEDx has
grown into a program of local, self-organized events that bring communities together to share
in a TED-like experience. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx events have been hosted
in over 1,200 cities and in over 100 languages, and TEDxYouth@Austin is proud to be a part of
of this movement.

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. Unlike most other youth events, TEDxYouth@Austin brings together students from all demographics in a non-competitive atmosphere. Our event is both one of the first and largest TEDxYouth events in the world, and we continue to grow each year. Attendance to TEDxYouth@Austin is completely free, and in exhange, our attendees commit to 4 hours of community service. 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.
