Disruptive Ideas: Ana Pantelic at TEDxSemesteratSea

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)

An enthusiastic proponent of the notion that disruptive ideas change the world, Ana Pantelić has spent the past two years working to alleviate poverty with Fundación Capital in Colombia. Growing up between Serbia and the United States, technology has played a crucial role in her life, and she now builds off her interdisciplinary studies to do the same with others, by bringing education via tablet computers into the homes of the rural poor. Ana sailed with Semester at Sea as a student in summer 2006.
