In Yourself You Trust | Ella Hough | TEDxCornell
Ella's TED Talk flips the script on how we think about money, showing that traditional currencies lose value over time, stealing our precious moments. She introduces Bitcoin as the ultimate "time capsule"—a tool that preserves your wealth, and by extension, your time. With Bitcoin, you're not just saving money; you're saving the ability to live the life you want, now. Ella challenges us to rethink everything about money, because in a world where time is everything, Bitcoin is the tool that ensures it’s on your side. Ella Hough is a senior at Cornell University, pursuing a Bitcoin-focused study through Cornell’s Robert S. Harrison College Scholar Degree Program. In addition to being a “College Scholar” major, Ella is majoring in Cognitive Science with minors in Business, Information Science (concentrated in Networks, Crowds, & Markets), and Moral Psychology.Outside of the classroom, Ella is a Junior Fellow at the Cornell Brooks School Tech Policy Institute, leading the first study focused on bitcoin adoption and financial freedom across 25 countries, founder of the Cornell Bitcoin Club, Project Lead at Generation Bitcoin (501c3), co-founder of the Bitcoin Students Network (501c4), and voice for Bitcoin through her writing and speaking.Previously, Ella was a member of IBM Canada’s CSR team, where she has managed STEM learning experiences for 75k+ students. Ella is an adventurer at heart, a connector who values questions over answers and endeavors to perfect the art of improbable friendship.

- 3:16Small bravery, big change | An LI | TEDxPennon Qingdao YouthOn my first school morning I shook like jelly; during swim class the pool looked like a black monster ready to slurp me up. Every tiny fear felt dragon-sized. But I learned to tiptoe past “what-ifs,” one toe, then another, until small brave steps stacked into a tower of confidence. Today I’ll share how swallowing one scary pill or dipping one toe in water can unlock a huge, sparkling world waiting just beyond the door. My name is Andy.I'm eleven years old.I like to read some books,do some sports and calligraphy.I want to make the world brighter.

- 14:42Machine Learning for Everyone | Glen Qin | TEDxCSTUMachine Learning allows computers to learn patterns from data rather than relying on fixed rules or models. Deep learning neural networks achieve this by breaking knowledge into simple neurons and steps, layer by layer. According to the Universal Approximation Theorem, a neural network can approximate almost any function—meaning nearly any knowledge or model can be learned from data. With this simple idea, Machine Learning becomes easy to grasp—truly ML for everyone.Event: TEDxCSTU Date: May 18th, 2025 Location: California Science & Technology University (CSTU) Website: https://www.cstu.edu?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=tedx2025&utm_term=glen_qinSpeaker: Glen Qin Learn more about the speaker: https://www.linkedin.com/in/glen-qin-9275a12/Organizer: Leni Jin, Organizer of TEDxCSTU Behind the scenes of TEDxCSTU: Stories & notes: https://lenijin.com/tedx More about the organizer: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lenijin/ Organizer's channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Leni_JinPlease note: This talk was recorded at TEDxCSTU, an independently organized TEDx event hosted at California Science and Technology University under a license from TED.
