Teenagers have good ideas for solving problems, but many people don't trust them because of their age, so we need to build more trust between young people and adults. Hi my name is fatimah I'm concerned that many people mistakenly think that where an idea comes from is more important than whether it's good or not. This can lead to missed chances and problems not being solved. I think that where an idea comes from doesn't matter, as long as it's a good idea that works. If this way of thinking keeps going, it might make it harder for us to solve the world's problems."Hi! I’m Loloa a 16 year old girl with a passion for creativity and adventure. I love exploring new places learning about new things. Volunteering is one of my favorite hobbies. I get to help and know people. I’m passionate about making a positive impact in my country. My goal is to become a successful leader and help out people in need and to become a better person.Hello, I'm Norah, a 15-year-old teenager who sees that many people hold a mistaken belief: they trust solutions based solely on their source. I believe that the source doesn’t matter as long as the solution is good. If this belief continues, the world will be negatively affected, and many problems will remain unsolved.

Through line: “Innovation is moving forward, people are quickly adapting to change without realizing the risks that come with it. What if one day innovation betrays us?” I am Sameeeah AlDhafar, a person living in this generation surrounded by constant innovations. I have always had a thought at the back of my mind : “Although sometimes I look forward and get inspired by technological progress, why do I fear it?” And so for that reason, a topic that goes along with navigating and understanding our fear of innovation was a great idea. I’m very keen on spreading a message of importance, especially a message that makes people think and reflect. So hopefully through this speech, people who are just like me or not can immerse themselves to the topic and understand, learn, connect and think from it.Hello, I am Reem Alshawan. As a person, I love reading, writing (especially poetry), and learning new things. Innovation is growing fast and I barely have any time to realize how fast exactly is it progressing—will it one day turn its back on us?
