I attended the very first TEDxUCLA today! I’m really glad I went, since there were some fantastic presentations and the vibe there was just awesome. Here are some pictures to walk you through so you can feel like you were there too. 🙂
Check out their site and their Facebook page if you’re interested and maybe I’ll see you there next year!
A very simple, yet very cool design!
Speaker Rebeca Mendez shares her fascination with a bird that circumvents the earth annually, flying from North Pole to South Pole and back again.
Speaker Leonard Rome shares a fascinating little thing in our bodies - vaults (no, not the bank kind) - with the potential to save lives.
Lunchtime!
They may look like an innocent arrangement of benches and tables...
...but don't be fooled! The aerial view provides a brand new perspective.

Speaker Jimmy Lizama shows how he'd like the world to be.
Watch out! These presentations can get a little crazy. Speaker Michael Newman prepares to shoot the audience with a Nerf gun.
Yay, for a stretch break, we get to play around with those beach balls from earlier!
In addition to having two musical groups performing simultaneously in Seoul and in front of us in Los Angeles, a DJ in Seoul collaborated with a dancer (Mike Song) in LA for this performance.
I managed to snag my very own TEDxUCLA swag. 🙂
