Theme: Self-Discovery

This event features six high school speakers and two guest speakers from Wellesley College, focusing on fostering self-discovery and encouraging deep reflection among students. TEDx, inspired by TED's mission of sharing ideas, hosts local, self-organized events that unite people for TED-like experiences. These gatherings blend TEDTalks videos with live speakers to ignite meaningful discussions and connections within small communities. While TED offers general guidance, each TEDx event is independently organized under specific rules and regulations.
