In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. 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. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Amy Wen

KGV student

Amy is a Year 12 student who loves to give out completely unwarranted (but distinctly perceptive) advice. From her own observation of other students in KGV, she’s noticed that discipline seems to be a hot buzzword that everyone wants. But where does discipline end and self-torture start? And how can we approach discipline as a mindset instead of a way to limit ourselves?

Harry Li

KGV Student

Harry is a Year 11 student who believes in the power of questions. As students, we are often told that working hard is the ultimate answer to success. But where does this idea come from? And how true is it?

Kiara Galway

KGV Student

Skibidi. Sigma. Aura. These phrases seem to have become omnipresent on the internet and in schools, but where did they come from? How did these words come to be, and why do they sound so ridiculous? Kiara, a Year 13 student passionate about linguistics, hopes to give this seemingly senseless language a chance. With ‘brain rot’ being named the Word of the Year, slang and how it’s used has never been more relevant.

Ross Parker

KGV Alumni

Ross Parker, a graduate from KGV in ‘98 (Mr. Pritchard still remembers him) is passionate about the alarming grip that devices have on our lives. As the author of the book Screens that Eat Children, Ross will take us on an in-depth exploration of how screens and devices diminish our self-control and how we can fight back.

Valentina Banner

KGV Student

Valentina is a Year 12 student who’s passionate about computer science. With a keen eye for the world of AI, she breaks down the current market for generative chatbots. But how did Deepseek come to be? How does it compete in the global AI field?

Valerie Wong

KGV Student

Have you ever thought that getting into an Ivy League school would determine your future success? Valerie, a Year 11 student passionate about public speaking, sure has. But she’s here to prove that success is self-made and fueled by so many other factors that aren’t just the ‘Ivy League’ label and college rankings.
