At the end of February, TED2013 went live far beyond the city limits of Long Beach, California. In 60 countries worldwide \u2014 excited TED\u2019xers became TEDsters for a day (or night!) \u2014 experiencing \u201cThe Young. The Wise. The Undiscovered.\u201d<\/em> in the heart of their communities: inside theaters, schools, local haunts, and cultural centers. These were TEDxLive events \u2014 TEDx events centered around a live simulcast of TED2013 in Long Beach.<\/p>\n

In Sidney, British Columbia, Canadian TEDx\u2019ers gathered together to watch day three of TED2013 in a local secondary school for the TEDxSaanichPeninsulaLive event. Organizer Sherry Moir said a moving moment of the day came after 16-year-old Jack Andraka spoke about the new method of detecting pancreatic cancer that he developed when he was only 15. Once he finished speaking, Sherry overheard one of the school\u2019s students say, \u201cHe might have saved my dad if he\u2019d only done this at age 12!\u201d Read the full story here \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n
