Innovation CHEF

TED is  one of my favourite resources. I looks like TED is coming to Dublin on the 12th June as part of  TEDx.

TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is famous for its inspirational talks by respected academics, talented individuals and those who have a unique vision to show to the world. With the TEDx series of independent spin-off events, the same spirit of spreading exciting and inspirational ideas will now arrive in Dublin on 12 June in Science Gallery.

Unfotunately it looks like the event is sold out according to the Science Gallery website.

Speakers that look confirmed so far are:

• Blaise Aguera y Arcas, the man behind Microsoft Live Lab’s Photosynth technology
• Dr Scott Rikard, co-founder of science education site Science With Me and co-creator of UCD’s autonomous robot design competition Roborugby

Check out the latest TED talk here from Michelle Obama, speaking at a London Girls school on the importance of taking Education seriously.

We recently got to see Bob Johansen from the Institute for the Future. See original blog post here.  The videos are available on Vimeo. For all those who Twitter or use Facebook or Bebo or use any kind of social networking platform this is a must see. Remember this is ten years away.
