“TEDxSFED is an independently organized TEDx event focused on rethinking the status of education by highlighting new and different ways to approach learning.”
“TEDxSFED will showcase a mosaic of learning paradigms with speakers who are re-imagining education both in and out of the classroom. With the theme, mashEDup: re-imagine education, TEDxSFED will highlight new and different ways to approach learning in an effort to help change the status of today’s education system.”
