# Kiddy Conferences Ted Conference for Kids Inspires the Next Generation By Meghan Young | Published 2009-10-19 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ted-conference-for-kids References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2009/10/tedxkids-the-first-ted-for-kids.html) & [ted](http://www.ted.com/) TED Conference follows a simple motto, “Ideas worth spreading,” and now these revolutionary talks are targeting the next generation through TED Conference for kids, TEDxKids. Similar to TEDxSMU (it is organized by the same group), people of all age groups will now be able to gain inspiration and perspective from this unique phenomenon. TED Conference for kids will provide junior high school students from public, private and charter schools with the tools to become interested in various issues at an earlier age. By exposing them to such inspirational talks, they will also have the opportunity to volunteer with the organization.
