Rethinking Learning in the Age of AI. | Clement Ong Tun Heang | TEDxSetapak
In the age of AI, what sets us apart is not the number of degrees we collect, but the ability to connect knowledge across disciplines, adapt it to real-world problems, and communicate it with context, empathy, and purpose. Clement Ong believes the future needs more than smart machines - it needs curious minds that think across fields.Through his journey with double degrees, he became not just a problem solver, but a bridge builder.His talk is a call to pursue purposeful learning, not just paper qualifications.

- 16:59How losing cash made me rich | Gan Zhen Nee | TEDxSetapakEveryone has experienced failure or regret, whether in relationships, careers or money. My story is personal, but universal: we all struggle with where to invest our energy, and we all fear wasting time. This talk offers hope and a reframe.

- 15:06Un nuevo mensajero del Universo oculto | Diego Blas | TEDxIgualadaEn esta inspiradora charla, el Dr. Diego Blas nos invita a explorar una de las fronteras más fascinantes de la física moderna: el universo invisible que se revela a través de las ondas gravitacionales. Estos sutiles estremecimientos del espacio-tiempo, predichos por Einstein hace más de un siglo y detectados por primera vez en 2015, han transformado radicalmente nuestra manera de observar el cosmos.A lo largo de la ponencia, descubrimos cómo las ondas gravitacionales actúan como nuevos mensajeros cósmicos, permitiéndonos escuchar fenómenos extremos como la colisión de agujeros negros o la fusión de estrellas de neutrones, eventos inaccesibles a los telescopios tradicionales. Gracias a ellas, no solo ampliamos nuestra comprensión del Universo, sino que también nos acercamos a responder preguntas fundamentales sobre su origen, su evolución y las leyes que lo gobiernan.Una charla que combina ciencia de vanguardia, curiosidad humana y una nueva forma de mirar y escuchar el Universo. Ideal para quienes desean entender cómo la física actual está redefiniendo nuestro lugar en el cosmos. Diego Blas és professor d’investigació ICREA al IFAE (Institut de Física d’Altes Energies), des de 2023. Abans, va ser investigador distingit Beatriz Galindo Senior al Departament de Física de la UAB i IFAE des de 2021 a 2023.La seva carrera internacional inclou etapes destacades com a investigador postdoctoral a l’EPFL, l’Escola Politécnica Federal de Lausana (on va desenvolupat noves teories de gravetat quàntica i el codi CLASS, referència en cosmologia), el CERN —on va ser científic titular entre 2014 i 2018— i professor titular al King’s College London.La seva recerca se centra en la cosmologia teòrica, la física gravitacional, la matèria fosca i les ones gravitacionals, amb projectes innovadors que combinen tecnologia de precisió (com dispositius quàntics) i astrofísica per explorar noves formes de detectar aquests fenòmens en entorns com púlsars o satèl·lits.En reconeixement al seu treball transformador, va rebre el Premi Buchalter de Cosmologia el 2022 per un article publicat a Physical Review Letters, valorat pel seu gran potencial per detectar ones gravitacionals en la franja dels microhercios, obrint així una nova finestra d’exploració sobre l’origen de l’univers. A més, ha estat guardonat amb una beca ERC Synergy de la unió europea i la Beca Leonardo 2024 de la Fundació BBVA per projectes de detecció d’ones gravitacionals amb tecnologies quàntiques i amb òrbites de satèl·lits.És conegut no només per portar la física teòrica cap a l’avantguarda, connectant la recerca bàsica amb tecnologies punteres i preguntes cosmològiques profundes, sinó també pel seu interès a explorar la frontera entre art i ciència, i compartir els descobriments més capdavanters amb la societat.

- 10:54The power of play in an uncertain world | Ana Valle Rivera | TEDxWest VancouverDiscover why protecting a child's right to play might be one of the most powerful ways to prepare them for an uncertain, AI-shaped future. In this TEDx talk, Ana argues that unstructured, free play isn’t a distraction from “real learning” but essential for developing connections, problem-solving, emotional resilience, and creativity. Through personal story, professional experience and insights from early years research, Ana invites us to rethink play from being a fun pass time to being vital for the well-being and evolution of the next generation. Ana is a proud mother of three, a consultant, and the founder of Early Years Thriving. Since 2007, Ana has worked in various capacities in the early years field to support children, families and educators. Ana has a background in ECE, a Bachelor’s Degree in Child & Youth Care, a Master’s Degree in Professional Education in Early Childhood Education.
