Are you interested in making a difference in someone's life? Or many people's lives? Creative Maker Arnon Zamir explains how in 72 hours you can make the world a better place by doing what you already know and love. TOM is a system that connects engineers, designers and other Makers to work with Need-Knowers to help find solutions for people with disabilities.

Arnon Zamir is an impact-entrepreneur at heart and a programmer in mind, running focused international development sprints for social good. His passion is combining technological innovation and meaningful social connectedness. Arnon is the Director of TOM:Tikkun Olam Makers, the technological wing of the Reut-Institute Strategy Group in Tel Aviv. Tikkun Olam Makers (TOM) brings together strategic thinkers, engineers, designers, and project managers to solve unmet social challenges in disadvantaged communities. This includes for example, a 3 day make-a-thon of teams from around the world to produce prototypes to assist and empower individuals with disabilities.
TOM is built on six core values: scalability, community integration, collaborative competition, affordability, smart development, and innovation. Arnon teaches entrepreneurship in the Tel Aviv University MBA program, organizes high-end international hackathons, meditates and practices martial arts.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
