As a community evolving in the pandemic, we're going through some massive transitions in the fundamental aspects of our lives. Technology has redefined communication, made education more accessible and R&D has paved the way for vaccines. 5G enhanced networking, and the metaverse - these are a few of the many inventions that scientists and engineers around the world have devised in order to solve the challenges of the pandemic. In this transition, we need to recognize one tried-and-true fact of life: we strive to continue - no matter the circumstances - and persevere.
With courage, hope, and determination, we kept growing through the tough times and came across some ground-breaking ideas that are worth spreading. The theme for this TEDx program is "Perseverance”..
