Redefining the Boundaries | Yojit Mirani | TEDxYouth@SISmumbai
Yojit shares his journey of being diagnosed with ADHD and the emotional, social, and academic challenges that followed. From hiding the diagnosis out of fear of judgment to finally embracing testing accommodations, the speech explores how societal stigma—especially the fear of “log kya kahenge” (what will people say)—can prevent individuals from seeking the support they need. Through moments of denial, growth, and empowerment, Yojit reveals how accepting his neurodivergence transformed his performance, confidence, and identity. The talk offers insight, empathy, and practical strategies for anyone navigating ADHD or societal pressure and aims to serve as a call to redefine boundaries on our own terms. Yojit is passionate about sparking conversations that
challenge the status quo and drive societal progress.
Armed with an empathetic approach and a relentless
work ethic, he believes collaboration is key to
addressing the world’s most pressing challenges. He is
driven by the conviction that true progress happens
when diverse ideas unite. With a keen eye for
emerging trends and a heart set on positive impact,
Yojit stands as a testament to what can be achieved
when relentless curiosity and compassion converge
proving that no frontier is too vast when approached
with an open mind and a helping hand. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

- 9:50AI and Digital Divide | Andrew Perry | TEDxWellington College HZ YouthHow can we harness technology not just to teach, but to uplift, to equalise and to inspire? Andrew's speech revealed the dual vision of intelligent education: artificial intelligence reshapes the educational ecology through precise teaching, personalized learning and cognitive support, but the technology gap is exacerbating the opportunity gap. The practice of Wellington Hangzhou Campus confirms the possible path of "technology for good": from the "one machine for one life" plan to the training of digital leaders, building an AI synaesthesia education model (critical thinking + ethical decision-making + collaborative creation). The speech warned that out-of-control algorithms may expand inequality, calling for the establishment of a "humanistic intelligence" education paradigm, allowing technology to empower rather than replace humanistic connections, and ultimately realizing the vision of inclusive and inclusive smart education.

- 9:04Digital Justice in Our Online World | Flora Ke | TEDxWellington College HZ YouthBe empowered, be cautious and be advocates for a safer digital world. We must be self-reliant, cautious, and become advocates for a safer digital world. She called for the construction of a "digital justice" ecosystem: platforms need to have pre-designed security, the government should strengthen supervision, parents should take the initiative to participate in digital education, and young people need to cultivate self-protection awareness. Only when all parties jointly establish a preventive protection mechanism can the virtual world truly become a pure land for growth.

- 10:15When theTrain isDrivingTowardsThe Crossroad of Justice | Tom Jiang | TEDxWellington College HZ YouthThrough the cracks of justice, we see light. In his speech, Tom used the trolley problem to reveal the profound contradiction between law and human nature: when utilitarianism requires "sacrificing the minority to save the majority", the judicial system often judges legitimate defenders with strict standards, forcing victims to accurately calculate the strength of defense in critical moments, just like requiring drivers to analyze physics formulas in an instant. Through the "perfect circle" paradox, he explained that although absolute justice is unattainable, it guides the direction of civilization - from the death of Socrates to modern judicial loopholes, it is the defects that drive humans to improve their moral standards. At the end of the speech, Tom called on society to accept the imperfections of the law so that every citizen can repair the "circle" of justice.
