Gina Souto was guest tweeting from TEDxKids in Brussels on June 1st 2011.
"48 kids, all of them born in 2000, are going get their hands dirty, soldering, tinkering, hacking and composing. A series of hands-on workshops will introduce the kids to a range of skills and methods.

At the same time 400 adults will be treated to an all day program of leading thinkers, experts and makers."

The twitter address was @TEDxKidsEU and there was a fantastic live stream from the event.

I enjoyed very much to take part on it!
