Theme: Infinite Ideation

Imagine seven people from seven different walks of life. If these seven people are given one blank sheet each, and are asked to fill it up with whatever strikes their mind, the result would obviously be completely diverse.
Think of those blank sheets as opportunities, and their artwork, as ideas.
We only took seven people. Take seven BILLION people.
Now imagine the amount of ideas.
Must be infinite.

Here at TEDxYouth@Brookefield, we are bringing to you different people, with different skills, who will coax you to make your own artwork, your very own idea. After all, it's the age of Infinite Ideation.
