It's all about passion: Ionut Budisteanu at TEDxBacau

IONUT BUDISTEANU took part in more than 130 national contests and in 18 international competitions in fields such as programming, research or inventics. In 2013, he won the Gordon E. Moore Award of the "Intel International Science and Engineering Fair 2013″ competitions which was held in Phoenix, USA. In the last 20 years, no European contestant has ever won this prestigious prize. But then Ionut came and everything seemed possible. His inventions comprise brilliant machineries such as the Human Computer Interface, that allows persons with sight problems to see with the help of their tongue, and an automatic system for predicting natural hazards. Now, he colaborates with a number of prestigious companies to set up a no self-driving, low cost car (one of his inventions) which should be available in Romania by the end of May. On his advice, the Minister for Education and the Prime Minister have created a scolarship for talented student, with extraordinary discoveries in the field of applied science. So, 50 of these scolarships are to be given to talented students with remarcable inventions that decide to follow the classes of a Romanian University.

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)
