Share "Your" World: Chiew Farn Chung at TEDxTitech

Chiew was born in Malaysia, spend his junior high days in Singapore, and subsequently went to high school and university in Canada. By attending local schools at each location, he has firsthand experience in how countries differ in the way they think and approach education.

Chiew keeps in touch with most the teachers who have taught and shaped him. One teacher showed him how to write his first computer program when he was 12, and by 15 he was representing Singapore for the International Computer Programming Competition. On a fast-track study program, he graduated at 20 years old with double honor degrees in Mathematics and also Computer Science.

After graduation, he started building large computer systems for Japanese based manufacturers and international banks. In 2010, he felt that advancement in technology and lifestyle is enabling people to explore their boundaries in education and knowledge exchange, and thus ClassDo was born.

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)
