TEDActive Takeover Blog

This year, RISD has joined forces with TED to host a TEDActive Takeover on campus. Throughout the month of February, students will be participating in TED Projects, simultaneously with TEDActive attendees around the world, to come up with new ideas and solutions to the prompts. This blog documents that work and process. TEDActive Intern: Carly Ayres Thanks to RISD Career Services. See student groups' work: #ActiveImpact #ActiveLocal #ActiveLifehack #ActiveMobile
