Date: 2012-08-13

Aaron is a maker; from sculptures to business, he is fascinated with the process of taking an idea from concept to reality.  In his time at Northwestern, he has cultivated a curiosity for the way in which we interact with our surroundings, fueling his passion in design and driving a desire to take a deep dive into the problems which face our world.  He is currently co-founder and CEO of Sproutel, the creator of Jerry the Bear -- an interactive teaching toy for children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

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)
