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).

Sports Shenanigans: I’m not your typical high schooler; I'm the guy who jumps between football, basketball, and volleyball like it's a game of musical chairs. Track and field? Been there. Academic Ace: And don't let the sports fool you—I'm also rocking the academic scene. A+ student with a 4.0 GPA, and I aced the SAT and ACT like a boss, cruising in the 99th percentile. Why TEDx? Why Not!: Why am I stepping onto the TEDx stage? It's a chance to soak up some wisdom, dish out a bit of my own, and maybe crack a joke or two along the way. Life’s Lesson, My Way: So, here's the deal—I’m here to spill the beans on my journey. Between sports chaos and academic shenanigans, there’s a method to my madness. Final Words: Join me for a rollercoaster ride through high school life, sports escapades, and the quirks of academic triumphs. TEDx isn’t just about talks; it's about the messy, hilarious adventure we call life.
