On 12th December we hosted our very first TEDxYouth@BSBShunyi event. It was an amazing day which highlighted the passion of our students and our community for ideas worth sharing. Students from Year 7 to Year 11 gave inspiring talks about the topics they find close to their hearts.
While listening to these talks, our community learned how we can use Artificial Intelligence in our learning journey, how to cope with academic anxiety, how to plan for an uncertain future, about the importance of face-to-face communication, about the humble power of philosophy, how computer games can inspire a career path, about the importance of trying different academic subjects, how to effectively solve problems, how to have the courage to not be accepted, and how one can carry their home country in their heart even if they live far away.
We also had two amazing performances, one at the pipa and an ensemble at the piano, flute and violin. The event was well received by our community and we promise to return next year with more exciting TEDx Youth talks.
Update from Mr. Voicu Mihnea Simandan, Head of Year 7
“What an exceptional and inspiring event! The introduction of this new student-led initiative is poised to become a standout feature on our annual calendar. The event not only showcased a high level of quality and polish but also highlighted the remarkable critical thinking and creativity demonstrated by our student presenters. It was truly impressive. A huge congratulations to all.
Looking ahead, I am eagerly anticipating our next TEDx event next year. I have no doubt that TEDx @BSB Shunyi Youth will go from strength to strength, building on the success and enthusiasm generated by this inaugural occasion.” Mr. Bevan Graham, Head of Secondary said.
Year 9 and Year 11 students have begun the options process of selecting their IGCSE and IB Diploma courses for next school year.
