This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Ryan Lee, child wiz with huge potential described how he taught himself to code, to create websites, and started a project on helping people in Hong Kong find plastic surgeon clinics in South Korea. At 15 years old, he is wise beyond his years; emphasizing that learning takes many forms, and a one size fits all model does not apply to everyone. A fascinating talk we can all learn from, as every individual needs to find their own method of learning.

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.
