TEDxOOBSchool is an independently organized TEDx event exclusively for the student community. The TED motto “ideas worth spreading” itself is the motive behind the fourth consecutive conduct of TEDxOOBSchool. TEDxOOBSchool is a great platform for the youth who inherit this world to voice their ideas to the world audience. We expect them to be so influential that they shall invite and ignite dialogues and conversations. TEDxOOBSchool2019 is to be held on 2 February 2019 at Our Own English High School, Sharjah-Boys’ Branch in the Sheikh Zayed Multi- Purpose Hall. Creating Future.exe is the theme of TEDxOOBSchool2019. Hinged on sustainability, the theme “Creating Future.exe” substantiates the necessity of the ideology “qualitative over quantitative” as the means of salvation of our resources, rather than merely supporting the present masses. A judicious combo of Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) extends a bouquet of diverse ideas to be touched upon, at any phase, (thought, concept, prototype or model), whose relevance in solving the present and future problems can be illustrated in your TALK. The TEDGlobal 2009 Program may serve as a great reference point to take note of the broad spectrum of talks on various subjects viz; music, science, biodiversity, industrial design, and food.

Programme: Talks by selected speakers, with interludes.
- Duration of talk: 2-7 minutes
- Age Group: 13 to 18 years.
- No commercial agenda: Speakers should not promote their own products, books, or businesses.
- Avoid pseudoscience: TED and TEDx are platforms for showcasing and explaining genuine advances in science, and it is important we retain the respect of the scientific community. Speakers should avoid the misuse of scientific language to make uncorroborated claims.
- No talks with an inflammatory political or religious agenda, nor for polarizing “US vs. Them” language. We seek to build consensus and provide outside-the-box thinking, not to revisit familiar, unresolvable disputes on these topics.
- Your Talk: The talks should be fashioned on original ideas, methods, schemes and plans. We would intend to see talks with ideas that are new, futuristic and pragmatic enough to offer solutions to the problems/challenges in the future.
