Theme: ‘Define Yourself’

TEDxYouth@SantaMonica is proud to be partnering with Santa Monica High School to create a TED experience for 500 local youth. We are putting together an exciting and inspiring program of live speakers and TEDTalks for a memorable day of fun, insight and revelation.

Our conversations will cover such diverse topics as soccer, porn and graffiti, but will always be guaranteed to make you think a little differently about how you define yourself, and are defined by others.

Here is a sneak preview of the program:

Cindy Gallop, Entrepreneur

"Make Love, Not Porn"

Cindy will expand on her now-legendary 2009 TEDtalk, as she shares her views on the impact of technology on intimacy amongst young people. We predict that this compelling speaker will be a highlight of the day.

Eugene Martin, Film Director

"The Anderson Monarchs"

Eugene is making a feature length documentary about an all-girls soccer team competing, living, and thriving in an at-risk urban neighborhood in Philadelphia. These girls show how anybody can rise above adversity to achieve their dreams.


Jason Pitts, College Student

“From Prom to Youtube”

Jason, a former SAMOHI student, became a youtube sensation earlier this year thanks to his unusual prom invite. Jason describes the impact of that incredible journey.


Mick Ebeling, Entrepreneur

“The Invention That Unlocked A Locked-In Artist”

The nerve disease ALS left graffiti artist TEMPT paralyzed from head to toe, forced to communicate blink by blink. Entrepreneur Mick Ebeling shares how he and a team of collaborators built an open-source invention that gave the artist -- and gives others in his circumstance -- the means to make art again.
