The Power of a Scientific Education | Ludovic Ducobu And Patricia Corieri | TEDxYouth@EEB3
Patricia Corieri and Ludovic Ducobu, experts from the European Space Agency involved in ESERO, talk about their inspiring careers, and delve into how the implementation of a dynamic education in the sciences can enrich us all. Enjoy! L’espace, en tant que terrain d’apprentissage, offre un cadre unique pour éveiller la curiosité des élèves.Notre intervention présentera les projets éducatifs de l’Agence Spatiale Européenne (ESA), portés en Belgique par ESERO Belgium. Ces projets se distinguent par l’importance accordée aux concepts scientifiques et à la pratique.Dès la maternelle, les enfants s’entraînent comme des astronautes. À la fin du primaire et au début du secondaire, ils découvrent la programmation et envoient leur code à bord de la Station Spatiale Internationale. En fin de secondaire, les adolescents conçoivent leur propre mini-satellite pour un lancement réel. Ces projets abordent aussi des enjeux sociétaux, comme la conception de bases lunaires, soulevant des questions scientifiques, environnementales et sociales.L’espace devient ainsi un levier puissant pour inciter les jeunes à s’orienter vers les disciplines STEM en les transformant en acteurs du développement des connaissances scientifiques.

- 15:06Overcoming Obstacles : Rising Above Challenges | Srikanth Bolla | TEDxInvertisUniversitySrikanth Bolla spoke at the Invertis University event held on January 23, 2025, in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. He emphasized the power of determination and vision, even beyond literal sight. Bolla shared: “…what you hold in your mind, nurture in your heart, and pursue with determination can shape your reality… I refused to let limitations define me—instead, I turned them into my greatest strengths.” He also mentioned his inspiring focus on “overcoming challenges, breaking barriers, and the power of resilience and determination.” "Turn your weaknesses into strengths." • He shared his inspiring life story: Despite being born visually impaired, he never let it define or limit him. He emphasized that inner strength and vision matter more than physical limitations. • He told students: Never see disability as a barrier, but as a unique force that can be converted into power. Believe in themselves and work with passion and purpose. • Srikanth said he faced discrimination and rejection at every stage, but: He converted those rejections into motivation. He pursued education at MIT (USA) and built a successful business that employs hundreds, many of whom are specially-abled. • He encouraged students to embrace their struggles and transform them into opportunities. Srikanth Bolla (born 7 July 1991) is an Indian industrialist and the founder Chairman of Bollant Industries. He was the first visually-impaired student in Management Science at the Sloan School of Management of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Since he was visually impaired, educational opportunities were also a struggle, as not many accommodated it. Since then, he has been an important figure in creating opportunities for visually impaired people. He has been a youth leader since 2005 and went on to become a member of Lead India 2020: The Second National Youth Movement.[5] Started by former President of India A. P. J. Abdul Kalam,Lead India 2020[6] is helping India reach the goal of becoming a developed nation by 2020 by eradicating poverty, illiteracy and unemployment.
