TEDx 2023 - Natasha Bamdad '24

The purpose of my talk is to address the different controversies around the biotechnology innovation of CRISPR, and to correctly educate the audience how CRISPR can actually be used in our current world, and what current biotech companies are doing with the use of CRISPR to better navigate us through the world.

TEDx 2023 - Neal Chopra '24

Technology is constantly evolving. Since the early stages of programming in the mid-20th century, the tech industry has seen rapid growth and innovation in recent years, with advancements in areas such as artificial intelligence, robots, and virtual reality. These technologies have revolutionized the way we navigate our daily lives, both physically and metaphorically. But what can we expect from the future of tech? Given the continuous development of new technologies, it’s difficult to predict what our future will look like. One thing is certain: as we move forward into the future, it is important to stay curious, stay informed, and continue to push the boundaries of what is possible with technology.

TEDx 2023 - Armin Hamrah '23

An ongoing debate among humans is whether artificial intelligence will enhance or detract from education, innovation, and other facets of humanity. In his talk (or should we say AI’s), Armin unpacks the ways in which natural language processing systems can be harnessed to actually improve educational, entrepreneurial, and human experiences, rather than detract from them.

TEDx 2023 - Andy Lee '25

My talk is about convincing the viewers to pursue a future in space exploration. I will go through my personal connection to space, address the criticisms of space exploration, and offer reasons for supporting space exploration. I will end the speech with a call to hold onto childlike wonder and to always look up. As we navigate our daily lives, the problems in our society, and the universe as wanderers amongst the cosmos, I want my talk to be a startling reminder to never forget our ultimate destination and to always have hope that we might achieve a better world someday.
