TEDxSMACK Youth is a student-led initiative hosted at St. Mary’s College Kisubi (SMACK), one of Uganda’s most esteemed institutions founded in 1906. Drawing from a legacy of academic excellence, leadership, and innovation, this event is dedicated to empowering the next generation of thinkers, doers, and change-makers under the inspiring theme: “Igniting the Next Wave.”

This TEDx event brings together students, alumni, educators, and innovators from across Kisubi Hill—home to a rich ecosystem of educational institutions ranging from primary schools and vocational institutes to universities. It aims to create a powerful platform where young minds explore transformative ideas, celebrate ingenuity, and share bold visions for the future.

Hosted in SMACK’s iconic Main Hall—a space that has witnessed over a century of intellectual and cultural milestones—TEDxSMACK Youth will feature dynamic talks on subjects such as clean energy innovation, youth entrepreneurship, domestic tourism, and the impact of artificial intelligence. The event will spotlight both experienced trailblazers and emerging voices, demonstrating the boundless potential of youth to shape society.

Whether you are a student discovering your path, a changemaker building solutions, or an alumnus seeking to reconnect with the spirit of SMACK, TEDxSMACK Youth promises an atmosphere of curiosity, inspiration, and collective empowerment. Join us as we spark conversations that will fuel the future—starting right here on Kisubi Hill.
