TEDx Creative Coast

Happy 4th Birthday, TEDx! Looks like you can have your cake and eat it, too.

TEDxSamsung celebrates TEDx’s fourth

TEDx is now 4! This past Saturday, March 23, TEDx celebrated this milestone with a global birthday party, convened by TEDx organizers, volunteers, and fans worldwide. There were cakes, candles, wishes and even a kite or two — all paired with enough enthusiasm to last another 4 years and beyond.

With 6,417 events in 149 countries and 1,777 cities over the past 4 years, and now over 25,000 talks online, the TEDx program would be nothing without its ever-expanding network of dedicated and hard-working volunteers.

So, take a moment and toast them and 4 years of TEDx with a selection of favorite sweet treats from TEDx’s 4th:

TEDxGolfLinksPark in Bangalore, India made TEDx a very impressive birthday cake — with sprinkles!

How we connect with others has deep impact on our own well being. Michael’s Norton’s research shows precisely how by spending money on other people we can make ourselves happier. He explains at TEDxCambridge:

Happiness, however, is only one aspect of a fulfilling, examined life. Brenda Brathwaite designs games not to entertain, but to help players forge deeply personal connections with history’s darkest moments. At TEDxPhoenix, she shares how interactive games can pull often abstract history lessons out of the past:
