Theme: Back to the Drawing Board

TEDxMilpitasHighSchool is a one-day conference that lets you take a step back from your everyday life to ask big questions and dream of a better world. We hope to shake you out of apathy, inspire you, and help you see two things: Our world is endlessly interesting, and there are people working tirelessly to make it better.
