What is TEDxBrownU?

TEDx is a grassroots initiative, created in the spirit of TED’s overall mission to research and discover “ideas worth spreading.” TEDxBrownU brings together Brown University students, alumni, professors, and members of the wider Providence community to share their ideas, stories, and innovations. In our 10 years of history, we produced over 100 TEDx talks, and we can’t wait to bring you more!

“Be open to serendipity and embrace the twists and turns of life.”
— Thano Chaltas, Professor @ Brown School of Engineering
“I spent so many years trying to define success via external accomplishments, but, in the end, I realized that this whole time success lay within.”
— Vincent Zhou, Team USA figure skater & 2-time Olympian
“Accessibility is an opportunity for creativity. So smell the art, hear the art, feel the art, and, yes, please touch the art.”
— Rishika Kartik, US Presidential Scholar and Coca Cola Scholar
