Event Details
Inspiration begins here.
TEDxMileHigh is pleased to offer students (ages 12-22) an exclusive invitation to attend TEDxYouth@MileHigh and join 10 renowned Colorado innovators and changemakers who will share their big ideas and explore solutions to the world's greatest challenges. We also invite you to experience the TEDxMileHigh Exhibits Lounge, which will be launched at this year's event. The Lounge will include a Projects Area where you can share your big ideas, the inaugural TEDxMileHigh Book Store, as well as The Entrepreneurs Garage, an innovative zone featuring some of the state's most creative entrepreneurs.
Be prepared to think differently. Get ready to start a movement.
The TEDxMileHigh 2012 (#TEDxMH12) theme "Risk & Reward" is inspired in part by a question posed during TEDxMileHigh 2011: What would you try if you had no fear? We often associate risk with danger, uncertainty and the unknown, but without risk we remain trapped in old paradigms. Taking risks allows us to think differently and venture into new territory. Most importantly, risk requires action and often comes with great reward.
Please share this invitation with students (ages 12-22) who are committed to spreading big ideas and promoting inspired citizenship within the community.
Please note that this event is FREE but only available to students (between the ages of 12 and 22) and any chaperones. Thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus for helping make the event possible. We look forward to seeing you on June 1st!
