Giữa vô vàn tiếng nói, tôi chọn giọng làng mình | Phạm Vinh | TEDxBTEC FPT Hanoi
His journey isn’t just about chasing trends or going viral, it’s about preserving the soul of his roots through storytelling. Gaining fame in 2021 with the viral video “The Nosy Neighbor and the Bottle of Pesticide,” he chose not the flashiest topics, but familiar rural tales, playing multiple roles in one video to bring them to life. What made his work stand out was its raw humor, emotional truth, and deep connection to Vietnamese countryside culture. Among all his characters, Cụ Phến remains the most iconic. With millions of followers and a unique voice, he proves that authenticity always finds its audience. With over 3.4 million followers on TikTok, 1.2 million on Facebook, and nearly 200,000 subscribers on YouTube, he is one of the most beloved content creators today. Without flashy effects or loud gimmicks, he wins audiences over with his simplicity, humor, and deeply relatable, down-to-earth characters - none more iconic than the one everyone knows: Cụ Phến.

- 14:14The puzzle perspective | Andrea Medina | TEDxRansomEvergladesSchoolWhat if the key to life’s toughest problems is hidden in the way you approach a simple puzzle? From childhood jigsaws to escape rooms, Andrea dives into the surprising power of puzzles to shape our minds, strengthen our relationships, and even help us see the world from a new perspective. Andrea has always enjoyed the challenge of solving puzzles, having completed over 100 escape rooms and puzzle hunts to date. As a dedicated member of her school's math team, she helped lead her team to victory at the INTEGIRLS all-female puzzle competition with her passion for problem-solving. From these experiences, she began to explore how puzzles foster collaboration and creativity, and why we can all benefit from embracing the problem-solving mindset puzzles encourage. Andrea is also a driven athlete on her school’s golf and lacrosse teams, and plays the viola in her school’s symphony orchestra. When not solving puzzles, you can find Andrea immersed in a good book or playing the guitar.

- 15:52We are giving each other for granted, and it’s drifting us apart | Mariana Serna | TEDxTES YouthToo often, we only realize the value of a moment, a person, or a relationship when it begins to slip away. We wait—for the right time or for life to teach us a lesson—only to discover that time doesn’t wait for us. The scarcity of time can become a wake-up call—not to fear, but to love more deeply and live more intentionally. Mariana is an 8th Grade TES student.

- 10:08Why social anxiety isn’t the end | Mariana Bento | TEDxTES YouthLiving with anxiety doesn’t mean living without hope. What we often call “shy” or “quiet” can be something deeper—something that shapes not only our actions, but our sense of self. But what if anxiety isn’t a flaw to fix, but a part of being human to understand? With the right tools, a bit of compassion, and the courage to show up anyway, even the most overwhelming moments can become manageable. And maybe, they can lead us somewhere stronger.
