TEDxPittsburgh 2019
Greater Than

We believe that every big idea is founded on the notion that we can be greater than the challenges we face. To these forward thinkers, an idea is a collection of actions that has proven to be greater than an obstacle in science, art, policy, sport, or the humanities. When inventing a new technology, searching for new medicines, trying to find a way to make our local policies benefit everyone, the daunting work can only begin if we believe that we can find the piece of the equation that is greater than. The speakers and performers of our 2019 event embodied this mindset. Watch below.
