TEDxBoston 2010 Adventures

2010 marked the first year that TEDxBoston community members were able to interact with each other prior to the event – through ADVENTURES. Over 500 sign-ups exemplified the enthusiasm for the 22 activities planned in the days immediately leading up to and following TEDxBoston on July 29th.

Show Full Description

The adventures were planned with the aim of celebrating the TED mission of sharing ideas and recognizing the innovation present in the greater Boston community. Participants went behind-the-scenes to engage in intimate conversations and activities with leading intellectuals, groundbreaking inventors, and local experts. So much of the TEDxBoston experience is about sharing – sharing revolutionary ideas, sharing goals for the future, and sharing Boston’s treasures. Feedback indicates that the adventures did just that – inspire the TEDxBoston community. A group of teenagers felt determined to help avoid environmental crises, professionals learned that they, too, could work with robots, and Boston natives discovered aspects of their city never before glimpsed. Even for people who did not have the chance to participate in many adventures (in contrast to those individuals who took two days of work off to attend eight), the experiences can be gleamed from the highlights below. May the inaugural adventures serve as a legacy for future celebration of the revolutionary ideas that make Boston such a remarkable city.
