Theme: Young & Excellent

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).

Kevin Tanuddin

Student

In a small town within Borneo Island, Kevin Tanuddin has his focus set on academic field, especially mathematics. Despite his cognitive development, his social life appears to be challenging, with many obstacles throughout his life journey, especially high school. It appears that the root of his problem is self-control. It seems that Kevin is sensitive to negative responses (even if one doesn't mean it) and takes it personal for not a short period of time. After many self-researches and experiences in his life, Kevin has found his way and will share this insight with the world through TEDxIPEKA Youth.
