At a TEDxYouth@SanAntonio event, middle schoolers, high schoolers and college students come together (with parents, educators and friends) to share imaginative and thought-provoking ideas for transforming our city and world. Activities showcase San Antonio’s unique culture, innovation and creativity to the worldwide TED community. #TEDxYouthSA
In person and online: Saturday, April 15, 2023
TEDxYouth@SanAntonio invites Youth and the San Antonio community to explore our theme of Climate Action, hear from 6 live speakers, and connect with organizations actively working on climate issues.
The event will be held at the University of Texas at San Antonio’s beautiful Buena Vista Theatre on the downtown campus. A livestream option will also be available. Discover opportunities to make a difference on Climate Change.
