About TEDx

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED created a program called TEDx—local, self-organized events that bring people together for a TED-like experience.

Our event is TEDxNewCairoSTEMYouth, where the x means independently organized. TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection.

The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events—including ours—are self-organized.

Our story

How it all began

If all that surrounds you seems to be dark, maybe because you are the light.

In moments where many students feel lost or uncertain, we see something different—a hidden light waiting to be discovered. Inspired by the idea that without darkness, light has no meaning, we created TEDxNewCairoSTEMYouth as a space for that light to emerge.

Here, ideas illuminate paths, and voices inspire change. This is where luminous darkness becomes reality.

The team

Meet the light bearers

The humans behind TEDxNewCairoSTEMYouth—organized by department, each one a vital part of the light.
