Maya Penn: I've been drawing ever since I could hold a crayon,

Maya Penn: Rišem, od kar sem prvič v roke prijela voščenko,

and I've been making animated flip books

in že od tretjega leta izdelujem animirane slikofrce.

since I was three years old.

At that age, I also learned about what an animator was.

Takrat sem se tudi naučila, kaj pomeni biti animator.

There was a program on TV about jobs

Na televizorju je bila oddaja o poklicih za katere otroci ne vedo.

most kids don't know about.

When I understood that an animator

Ko sem doumela, da animator ustvarja risanke na televiziji,

makes the cartoons I saw on TV,

I immediately said, "That's what I want to be."

sem si takoj rekla: "To bi jaz rada bila."

I don't know if I said it mentally or out loud,

Ne vem, ali sem si to le mislila ali sem to rekla na glas,

but that was a greatly defining moment in my life.

toda vsekakor je to bila prelomnica v mojem življenju.

Animation and art has always been my first love.

Animacija in umetnost sta vedno bili moji prvi ljubezni.

It was my love for technology that sparked the idea

Iz moje ljubezni do tehnologije se je tudi razvila ideja o "Škodljivih jedeh."

for "Malicious Dishes."

There was a virus on my computer,

Računalnik se mi je okužil z virusom in sem se ga poskušala znebiti,

and I was trying to get rid of it,

and all of a sudden, I just thought,

naenkrat sem pomislila,

what if viruses have their own little world inside the computer?

kaj, če imajo virusi svoj lasten majhen svet v računalniku?

Maybe a restaurant where they meet up

Morda imajo gostilno, v kateri se družijo in počnejo virusne zadeve?

and do virusy things?

And thus, "Malicious Dishes" was born.

In tako je nastala risanka "Škodljive jedi".

At four years old, my dad showed me

Pri štirih letih mi je oče pokazal,

how to take apart a computer and put it back together again.

kako se razstavi računalnik in nato zopet sestavi.

That started my love for technology.

Tako se je začela moja ljubezen do tehnologije.

I built my first website myself in HTML,

Ustvarila sem svojo prvo HTML spletno stran

and I'm learning JavaScript and Python.

in se trenutno učim JavaScript ter Python.

I'm also working on an animated series

Delam tudi na animirani seriji z naslovom "Opraševalci".

called "The Pollinators."

It's about bees and other pollinators in our environment

Zgodba se vrti okrog čebel in ostalih opraševalcev v našem okolju,

and why they're so important.

ter tega, zakaj so tako pomembni.

If plants aren't pollinated by the pollinators,

Če opraševalci ne bi opraševali rastlin,

then all creatures, including ourselves,

bi vsa živa bitja, vključno z nami, ki so od teh rastlin odvisne, stradale.

that depend on these plants, would starve.

So I decided to take these cool creatures

Tako sem se odločila, da bom ta fina bitja

and make a superhero team.

združila v skupino superjunakov.

(Applause)

(Aplavz)

(Foot stomp)

(Teptanje z nogami)

(Music)

(Glasba)

(Roar)

(Krohotanje)

Pollinator: Deforestsaurus! I should have known!

Opraševalka: Gozdokrčnež! Morala bi vedeti!

I need to call on the rest of the Pollinators!

Poklicati moram ostale Opraševalce!

(Music)

(Glasba)

Thank you. (Applause)

Hvala. (Aplavz)

All of my animations start with ideas,

Vse moje animacije se začnejo z idejo.

but what are ideas?

Toda, kaj sploh so ideje?

Ideas can spark a movement.

Ideje sprožijo trend.

Ideas are opportunities and innovation.

Ideje so priložnosti in inovacija.

Ideas truly are what make the world go round.

Ideje so resnično nekaj, zaradi česar se naš svet vrti.

If it wasn't for ideas, we wouldn't be

Brez idej ne bi nikoli prišli tako daleč v tehnologiji, medicini,

where we are now with technology, medicine,

art, culture, and how we even live our lives.

umetnosti, kulturi in načinu življenja.

At eight years old, I took my ideas

Pri osmih letih sem vzela te svoje ideje

and started my own business called Maya's Ideas,

in sem odprla svoje podjetje z imenom Mayine ideje

and my nonprofit, Maya's Ideas for the Planet.

in neprofitno organizacijo Mayine ideje za planet.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And I make eco-friendly clothing and accessories.

Izdelujem okolju prijazna oblačila in modne dodatke.

I'm 13 now, and although I started my business

Zdaj sem stara 13 let in čeprav sem podjetje odprla leta 2008,

in 2008,

my artistic journey started way before then.

se je moja umetniška pot začela že prej.

I was greatly influenced by art, and I wanted to

Umetnost je name imela močan vpliv in sem jo

incorporate it in everything I did, even my business.

želela vključiti povsod, tudi v svoje podjetje.

I would find different fabrics around the house,

Po hiši sem poiskala različne vrste blaga in dejala:

and say, "This could be a scarf or a hat,"

"To bi lahko bil šal ali pa kapa," imela sem ogromno oblikovalskih idej.

and I had all these ideas for designs.

I noticed when I wore my creations,

Ko sem nosila svoje stvaritve, so me ljudje ustavljali in spraševali:

people would stop me and say,

"Wow, that's really cute. Where can I get one?"

"Vau, to je res srčkano. Kje lahko dobim kaj takšnega?"

And I thought, I can start my own business.

In sem pomislila, da lahko odprem svoje podjetje.

Now I didn't have any business plans

Toda, nisem imela poslovnega načrta pri osmih letih.

at only eight years old.

I only knew I wanted to make pretty creations

Vedela sem le, da želim ustvarjati lepe izdelke,

that were safe for the environment

ki so varni za okolje in jih lahko okolju vrnem.

and I wanted to give back.

My mom taught me how to sew,

Mama me je naučila šivati in sem sedela na verandi

and on my back porch, I would sit and make

little headbands out of ribbon,

ter izdelovala naglavne trakove,

and I would write down the names and the price of each item.

nato sem jih poimenovala in jim dodala ceno.

I started making more items like hats,

Začela sem izdelovati tudi kape, šale in torbice.

scarves and bags.

Soon, my items began selling all over the world,

Kmalu so izdelki bili v prodaji po celem svetu

and I had customers in Denmark, Italy, Australia,

in sem imela stranke na Danskem, v Italiji, Avstraliji, Kanadi in drugje.

Canada and more.

Now, I had a lot to learn about my business,

O svojem podjetju sem se morala še veliko naučiti

like branding and marketing,

o blagovnih znamkah, trženju, ohranitvi sodelovanja s strankami

staying engaged with my customers,

and seeing what sold the most and the least.

in sledenju, kateri izdelki so najbolj in kateri najmanj prodajani.

Soon, my business really started to take off.

Kmalu je moje podjetje postalo zelo uspešno.

Then one day, Forbes magazine contacted me when I was 10 years old.

In nekega dne, me pri desetih letih pokličejo z revije Forbes.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

They wanted to feature me and my company

Želeli so napisati prispevek o meni in mojem podjetju.

in their article.

Now a lot of people ask me,

Veliko ljudi me vpraša, zakaj je moje podjetje prijazno okolju?

why is your business eco-friendly?

I've had a passion for protecting the environment

Strast do varovanja okolja in njegovih bitij v meni gori že od majhnih nog.

and its creatures since I was little.

My parents taught me at an early age

Moji starši so me že zelo zgodaj učili, kako vračati okolju in biti njegov varuh.

about giving back and being a good steward to the environment.

I heard about how the dyes in some clothing

Povedala sta mi, kako so nekatera barvila v oblačilih

or the process of even making the items

ali pa sploh postopki izdelovanja oblačil škodljivi za ljudi in planet.

was harmful to the people and the planet,

so I started doing my own research,

Zato sem to začela raziskovati tudi sama

and I discovered that even after dyeing has being completed,

in sem odkrila, da se problem pojavi že po barvanju,

there is a waste issue that gives a negative impact

in sicer z odpadnimi snovmi, ki imajo negativen učinek na okolje.

on the environment.

For example, the grinding of materials,

Na primer, mletje materialov, ali pa odlaganje suhega prahu.

or the dumping of dried powder materials.

These actions can pollute the air,

Izvajanje teh del lahko onesnaži zrak,

making it toxic to anyone or anything that inhales it.

ki postane škodljiv za vsakega, ki ta zrak vdihne.

So when I started my business,

Torej, ko sem začela s poslovanjem, sem vedela dve stvari:

I knew two things:

All of my items had to be eco-friendly,

Vsi moji izdelki morajo biti ekološko prijazni

and 10 to 20 percent of the profits I made

in 10 do 20 odstotkov dohodka bom vložila v lokalne in globalne

went to local and global charities

dobrodelne organizacije ter okoljevarstvene organizacije.

and environmental organizations.

(Applause)

(Aplavz)

I feel I'm part of the new wave of entrepreneurs

Imam občutek, da sem del novega vala podjetnikov,

that not only seeks to have a successful business,

ki ne stremijo samo k uspešnem podjetju,

but also a sustainable future.

ampak si tudi želijo trajnostno prihodnost.

I feel that I can meet the needs of my customers

Mislim, da lahko zadovoljim potrebe svojih strank

without compromising the ability of future generations

ne da bi ogrožala zmožnost prihodnjih generacij,

to live in a greener tomorrow.

da bi uživale bolj zelen jutri.

We live in a big, diverse and beautiful world,

Živimo v svetu, ki je velik, raznolik in lep,

and that makes me even more passionate to save it.

in zato si ga še bolj vneto želim rešiti.

But it's never enough to just to get it through your heads

Toda nikoli ni dovolj le razmišljati o stvareh, ki se dogajajo na našem svetu.

about the things that are happening in our world.

It takes to get it through your hearts,

Te stvari moramo začutiti v srcu,

because when you get it through your heart,

kajti le srčni občutki o teh stvareh sprožijo gibanje.

that is when movements are sparked.

That is when opportunities

Takšni trenutki ustvarjajo priložnosti in inovacije

and innovation are created,

and that is why ideas come to life.

in tako oživijo ideje.

Thank you, and peace and blessings.

Hvala, želim vam mir in blagoslov.

(Applause)

(Aplavz)

Thank you. (Applause)

Hvala. (Aplavz)
