Theme: World Re-imagined

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up” - Pablo Picasso

We like to look up to great people, but we often overlook what it takes to become great: Inspiration and Imagination. Before becoming great, the great were once the young who had let their ideas run loose, whose ideas were not conformed by boundaries or limitations.

Let your ideas run free at TEDxYouth@Taipei, and be the artist of your imagination. What is your world like?

John Hsu

John Hsu is an aspiring pilot who has been making aircrafts and model planes since middle school. In college John studied mechanical engineer. His graduation paper was a research on multi-functional unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, on how these flying objects can reduce accidents and errors on manned flights. In 2014 John was awarded a grant from the Gamania Cheer Up Foundation to fulfill his lifelong dream as a pilot. This grant enabled him to become the first batch of trained private pilots in Taiwan.

Jordan Tseng

When Jordan was a little boy, he enjoyed creating imaginative stories with his toys and doing voiceovers for these characters. In school, Jordan didn't do so well; he failed miserably and had problems catching up with his peers. Instead of spending more time on schoolwork, he instead turned to his toys and stop-motion animation. Jordan spend countless hours researching online tutorials on how to use LEGO blocks to construct various sets for his animation scenes. After 5,000 photo takes over a three month period, Jordan completed his first 3-minute "LEGO Thor" stop-action movie. This movie was released on YouTube in January 2014, and since then it has garnered mass media attention. Jordan is currently a student studying Visual Communications. He continues to pursue his path of creative stop-motion animation.
