Do You know what is really interesting for everyone? Future.

In 1968, Arthur C. Clarke in his novel "2001: A Space Odyssey" predicted boom of space traveling and the development of artificial intelligence. He described the future in many ways and it has become real. In 2001, the computer was able to beat a man at chess, and in the early 2000s the company started to create a space tourism industry. What is the forecast of today?

TEDYouth 2015 is an opportunity for young people to think about the world in 2035, to create their own view of future reality. Tomsk is among more than 150 cities around the globe gathered to explore the event's theme, "Made in the Future" on the 14-15 November 2015.
