TEDxSanDiego - Jake Shimabukuro - performance

TEDxSanDiego began and ended with Jake Shimabukuro's virtuoso ukulele performances before a transfixed audience. No one would argue that his performance of The Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was a highlight of the day. In addition to those magical moments, the talented musician shares words of wisdom learned from his work with children: "Kids need to be inspired and passionate about something."

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
