TEDxYouth@FAIHS is a TEDx event organized by the students of International High School in the heart of San Francisco, Hayes Valley. Meant to showcase the thoughts and ideas of the students and the community, our event has since expanded to feature guest speakers beyond our circles.

We are thrilled to be hosting our fifth annual event! This year's event theme is Uncharted Territories and is meant to reflect thoughts and ideas that go against the grain. The talks will showcase topics that are underrepresented in the media, ranging from social code-switching to the United States educational attainment gap.
