Theme: BUTTERFLY EFFECT

When meteorologist Edward Lorenz ran a routine weather simulation, he stumbled upon something extraordinary. A tiny discrepancy—just a few decimal places—set off a chain reaction, producing an outcome wildly different from what he had expected. In that moment, he had unknowingly uncovered a profound truth about our universe: chaos is not just disorder—it is the fabric of existence. A single, imperceptible act—the flap of a butterfly’s wings—could alter the course of a hurricane.

At TEDxCET 2025, we do not merely seek to examine this radical phenomenon—the Butterfly Effect—we seek to embody it. Through voices that echo across disciplines, experiences that defy expectations, and ideas that ripple far beyond this stage, we aim to spark transformations both personal and profound. This is more than a stage. This is the moment where small ideas ignite revolutions. Where whispers turn into movements. And where change—real, lasting, and unexpected—begins.
