Theme: Audacity of Imaginations

The most influential and innovative creations have come from the simple act of imagining something bigger, easier, or more beautiful. Scientists and creative artists have an amazing gift for thinking outside the box and allowing their imaginations the freedom to grow and evolve their thoughts, many of which have created products that have changed the way we live entirely.

Through community, education, and ideas, TEDxUCP hopes to reinvigorate the imaginations of students and faculty alike. Our mission is to encourage curiosity and engage the imagination. We aim to inspire and provoke exchange and exploration of ideas.
