The problem with inventions | Ann Makosinski | TEDxVictoria

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Sure, you've invented the next big thing, but now what?

Ann Makosinski, the teenage inventor of the human-powered flashlight, tells you what comes next -- and what to avoid.

The 17-year-old inventor of the award-winning body-heat powered flashlight from Victoria, BC, Ann Makosinski is a natural inventor.

TEDxVictoria takes place each year in Victoria, BC, Canada, and is Vancouver Island's largest TEDx event. This year marked the fourth year of the event, which saw more than 700 people gather at the century-old McPherson Playhouse for a full day of Ideas Worth Spreading based around the theme of Pursuit of Knowledge.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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)
