TEDYouth

This is so cool. I just learned that TED is launching a special event, just for young people in grades 6-12! Here's a summary, from the official TED blog:

"The theme for our TEDYouth program is 'Play, Learn, Build and Share.' Be inspired and challenged by 20 passionate TEDYouth speakers who’ll inspire creativity, share mind-shifting stories, and engage their physical and virtual audience in ways that every student deserves."

The conference will be held on November 19, 2011, at the Times Center in New York City and it's free to attend for the 300 applicants that TED is accepting! Read more about the event, and learn how to apply, here. I wish I could go ;)
