Alix Generous is a young woman with a million and one ideas — she's done award-winning science, helped develop new technology and tells a darn good joke (you'll see). She has Asperger's, a form of autistic spectrum disorder that can impair the basic social skills required for communication, and she's worked hard for years to learn how to share her thoughts with the world. In this funny, personal talk, she shares her story — and her vision for tools to help more people communicate their big ideas.

My presumption is that your goal is to change the world – not study it.’
– Guy Kawasaki.
We have been studying, observing, thinking even discussing everything that comes across us, but are they making someones life better?
What if we could come up with some idea that has the potential to impact the lives of millions of people and by just using the knowledge we have gained along with better understanding of the user we can make it possible.
TechGSR cordially invites you to the orientation and project introduction session!
Hope to see you there!
