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).

Aditi Sehgal

Student
Aditi Sehgal, a passionate student about justice not just in courts, but in everyday life. “I believe fairness starts with small actions: how we treat others, share opportunities, and stand up for what’s right. want to join TEDx to share how justice can live in our daily choices, inspiring others to create a fairer world, one small step at a time. Let’s rethink justice as a habit we practice every day!”

Andrew Perry

Primary School Educational Technology Coach
Andrew's speech revealed the dual vision of intelligent education: artificial intelligence reshapes the educational ecology through precise teaching, personalized learning and cognitive support, but the technology gap is exacerbating the opportunity gap. The practice of Wellington Hangzhou Campus confirms the possible path of "technology for good": from the "one machine for one life" plan to the training of digital leaders, building an AI synaesthesia education model (critical thinking + ethical decision-making + collaborative creation). The speech warned that out-of-control algorithms may expand inequality, calling for the establishment of a "humanistic intelligence" education paradigm, allowing technology to empower rather than replace humanistic connections, and ultimately realizing the vision of inclusive and inclusive smart education.

Arwen Ruan

Student
Arwen Ruan is from Year 9 at Wellington College."I have always wanted to participate in the TEDx event, but it took a lot of courage to stand up on that stage alone and present a whole speech with so many people looking at me. A friend of mine signed up for the event a few years ago. She stood on that stage, and as I watched her deliver her speech, I became inspired. I could be the one confidently expressing my passions, and giving an opinion on an interesting question. So, I decided to sign up this year, step out of my comfort zone and try something new. "

Danny Shen

Student
Danny is from 9A. "I'm really glad to take part in TEDx with the theme of justice. TEDx is a great platform to share ideas with the audience.I was inspired by cartoons like Black Cat Sheriff when I was young, which shaped my sense of justice. Crime can happen anytime, and I want more people to be aware and prevent it. I'd like to call for justice, stand up for victims, and work towards a harmonious society. I hope my words can make the audience think on this diverse TEDx stage."

Flora Ke

Grade 7 Student
We must be self-reliant, cautious, and become advocates for a safer digital world. She called for the construction of a "digital justice" ecosystem: platforms need to have pre-designed security, the government should strengthen supervision, parents should take the initiative to participate in digital education, and young people need to cultivate self-protection awareness. Only when all parties jointly establish a preventive protection mechanism can the virtual world truly become a pure land for growth.

Lingzi is from wellington year 9. "This is the event is always wanted to join in after watching the video of my friend taking part in it. it looked like such a great experience that I wanted to be part of it too. I love the energy of sharing ideas on stage and connecting with an audience. I’m excited for the opportunity to learn, grow, and hopefully bring my own ideas to the stage soon!"

Nasha Aswani

Student
I am excited to speak at TEDx about The Role of Technology in Making Justice Accessible for All because I believe technology can help fix many of the problems in the legal system. Through conversations with my sister, who studies law, I’ve learned how difficult it can be for people to access justice—long wait times, high costs, and complex procedures make it hard for many to get the help they need. Technology, like AI-powered legal assistance and online platforms, could make legal support easier and more affordable. But it’s also important to consider challenges like data privacy and fairness. I want to explore how we can use technology to improve the legal system while ensuring it remains fair and accessible to everyone. Speaking at TEDx gives me a chance to share these ideas and start a conversation about making justice more efficient and inclusive.

Tom Jiang

Grade 7 Student
In his speech, Tom used the trolley problem to reveal the profound contradiction between law and human nature: when utilitarianism requires "sacrificing the minority to save the majority", the judicial system often judges legitimate defenders with strict standards, forcing victims to accurately calculate the strength of defense in critical moments, just like requiring drivers to analyze physics formulas in an instant. Through the "perfect circle" paradox, he explained that although absolute justice is unattainable, it guides the direction of civilization - from the death of Socrates to modern judicial loopholes, it is the defects that drive humans to improve their moral standards. At the end of the speech, Tom called on society to accept the imperfections of the law so that every citizen can repair the "circle" of justice.
