Changing the world one playground at a time | G Cody QJ Goldberg | TEDxPortland

Born and raised in Marin County, California,Cody is convinced that the secret to building a better world for all is building better playgrounds. Cody and his wife April live in Portland with their daughters Harper and Lennon. Due to eight-year- old Harper's unique needs, the couple launched "Harper's Playground," a passion project that has spurred a movement to design and build the city's first inclusive playground, one that adapts to the needs of children of all abilities.

Event Recap - April 12, 2014 at the Keller Auditorium with 2900+ in attendance marked the 4th installment for TEDxPortland. Committed to ideas worth spreading in the Rose City and beyond, 55+ volunteers, worked year round to organize this one-day event featuring 14 speakers and 4 performances. This year's theme was PERFECT.

With special thanks to the UNIVERSITY OF OREGON for presenting partnership, a world class stage design provided by HENRY V, an incredible legacy bound book provided by PREMIER PRESS and to the creative digital craft provided by INSTRUMENT. All of our "Perfect Partners" can be found here: http://www.tedxportland.com/?partners

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)
