In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Andrew Hsur

Current junior at Winston Churchill high school. Unlocking one’s hidden potential is an area of study that I am interested in. I believe the high school curriculum is not that difficult, however, many students are having difficulty due to distractions around them. Finding ways to unlock one’s potential is a secret to success I believe is worthwhile to explore.
