What is TEDxSFED?

TEDxSFED will showcase a mosaic of learning paradigms with speakers who are re-imagining education both in and out of the classroom. With the theme, mashEDup: re-imagine education, TEDxSFED will highlight new and different ways to approach learning in an effort to help change the status of today’s education system.

On April 9, 2011 we hosted the inaugural TEDxSFED at SOMArts. In addition to our main stage, we had two simulcast locations at Ruth Asawa School of the Arts, and the Urban School of San Francisco.

The recorded talks will be posted very soon. In the mean time, check out the variety of media we collected during the day.

What is TEDx?

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 TEDxSFED, where x = independently organized TED event. At TEDxSFED, 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.
