UPCOMING EVENT:
METAMORPHOSIS 2025
Welcome to TEDxECFS
This Tedx event is centered around the
theme of Metamorphosis, focused on
creatvitiy, innovation, inspiration, and
action.
- Connect with students, faculty, admin
- Expand your mind
- Foster cross divison discussion
- Captivating Performances
- Engaging Conversations
In the spirit of discovering and spreading ideas, TED has created a
program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized
events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our
event is called TEDxECFS, where x = independently organized TED
event. At our TEDxECFS event, TED Talks video and live speakers will
combine to spark deep discussion and connection. The TED
Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but
individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

TED is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to discovering, debating and spreading ideas that
spark conversation, deepen understanding and drive meaningful change. Our organization is devoted to
curiosity, reason, wonder and the pursuit of knowledge — without an agenda. We welcome people from
every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world and connection with others,
and we invite everyone to engage with ideas and activate them in your community.
TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, but today it
spans a multitude of worldwide communities and initiatives exploring everything from science and
business to education, arts and global issues. In addition to the TED Talks curated from our annual
conferences and published on TED.com, we produce original podcasts, short video series, animated
educational lessons (TED-Ed) and TV programs that are translated into more than 100 languages and
distributed via partnerships around the world. Each year, thousands of independently run TEDx events
bring people together to share ideas and bridge divides in communities on every continent. Through the
Audacious Project, TED has helped catalyze more than $3 billion in funding for projects that seek to make
the world more beautiful, sustainable and just. In 2020, TED launched Countdown, an initiative to
accelerate solutions to the climate crisis and mobilize a movement for a net-zero future, and in 2023 TED
launched TED Democracy to spark a new kind of conversation focused on realistic pathways towards a
more vibrant and equitable future. View a full list of TED’s many programs and initiatives.

ABOUT TED
ABOUT TEDX
x = independently organized event
In the spirit of discovering and spreading ideas, TEDx is a program of
local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-
like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers
combine to spark deep discussion and connection. 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.)
Welcome to TEDxYouth, an inspiring event centered around the
theme of Metamorphosis. This year’s talks explore
transformative journeys, personal growth, and the power of
change in shaping who we are and who we aim to become.
From stories of resilience and self-discovery to innovations and
breakthroughs that are changing our world, each speaker
brings a unique perspective on how metamorphosis impacts
our lives and communities. Join us as we celebrate the courage
to embrace change, challenge our limits, and redefine
posibilities, sparking ideas and action for a better tomorrow.

In the spirit of TED, the TEDx program was created to give communities the opportunity to stimulate dialouge through TED-like experiences at their local
level. Hosted on our own very campus, this event is produced entirely by 12th graders.
