TEDxMcGill - Joshua Kyle - Outdated Technology: Waste or Opportunity December 13, 2011

Favorite:

Joshua Kyle is a fourth year student at McGill University working towards an undergraduate degree in Materials Engineering. Joshua founded, managed, and currently coordinates Reboot McGill, rooted upon a program he started back home in rural Quebec that returns to-be-recycled computers back to the community. Reboot McGill is a non-profit co-operative between students and the McGill administration that works to refurbish and deploy McGill's used computer equipments to the McGill and surrounding communities for reuse. It aims towards a more sustainable campus while providing a community driven learning environment where students can give back to the local community by volunteering.

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)
