EDGE

Took placeDecember 5, 20159:30 AM - 5:30 PM (GMT+5:30)
LocationBangalore, Karnataka, India
FormatUniversity
Our theme for this year's edition of TEDx is EDGE-Explore, Discover, Grow, and Engage. The edge is usually the furthest point before the unknown. So many of us spend much of our lives in the comfortable, safe places; our schedules become predictable. Our work can get repetitive and dull. We interact with the same people, with backgrounds and outlooks similar to our own. What are we missing by not looking to challenge ourselves, by not going to the edges? What drives someone to explore the edges of their physical abilities, while others don’t? Why do humans continue to bravely explore the unknown? At TEDxMCC we intend to present novel ideas and viewpoints that have the potential to enhance our community.
