It\u2019s a suitcase stuffed with everything an economically marginalized community needs to host their very own TEDx event &#8212; a projector, an iPod preloaded with subtitled TED Talks, a sound system, camcorders to capture fresh talks, and a how-to guide. TEDx in a Box was an idea that originated at <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ted.com\/2009\/08\/19\/tedxkibera\/\">TEDxKibera<\/a>, a vibrant event held in the slums of Nairobi. With TEDx in a Box, individuals in the developing world and other underserved areas are delivered all the resources they need for an event, packaged into a portable box designed by IDEO. So far, boxes have been shipped to organizers in Ecuador, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, India and Pakistan &#8212; and counting.<\/p>\n<p>In a new twist, members of the TED community can now donate a TEDx in a Box, which costs $2,000 USD, including shipping. It\u2019s a great outlet for anyone who wants to inspire learning in an underserved community. It\u2019s also a fantastic way for TEDx organizers who find themselves with leftover funds to pass the baton. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ted.com\/pages\/tedx_in_a_box\">Find out how to donate a TEDx in a Box \u00bb\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Do you live in a economically marginalized community where a TEDx in a Box would help you host an event?
