Theme: Alchemy

The ancient science of alchemy wasn't just a branch of knowledge but also an art. Ancient legends depict alchemists as creators of gold from lead sources with the help of this knowledge. But as Willian H. Gass said, "True alchemists don't change lead into gold, they change the world into words". We promise you, that our speakers will prove to be the "alchemists" that inspire the good, or the "gold" within you!

Through TEDxYouth@PalmRoad, we wish to bring about the best version of yourself and stir your mind in the spirit of "Ideas Worth Spreading".
