TEDGlobal 2014 was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this past week and centered around the theme ‘South!’. Playing on this idea, TED-Ed hosted an animation station at the conference at which attendees learned about visualizing data while creating an incredible animated map of their own personal travel routes south to Brazil. 

Over 40 attendees participated, creating nearly 30 short animations mapping their routes south. Check out this video that features 7 of these awesome creations:
