The Evolutionary Landscape of Healthcare Innovation | James Lyu | TEDxYouth@AbbeyParkHS
Reimagining healthcare innovation through creative approaches—such as proactive care, precision medicine, gene editing, and phage therapy—has the power to transform patient outcomes. James is a grade 11 student from Abbey Park High School. His speech will explore how to think outside of the box through bringing to light the troubles that we are encountering in medicine. He is fascinated by how new technological forces shape the medical field. His goal in life is to find meaning in society, with his core values being confidence and independence. Beyond academics, James enjoys playing the piano and swimming. One of his favourite quotes is: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles”.

- 7:31What We Don't Know about Cliche | Yingqi Zhang | TEDxGHCIS YouthIn this speech, Yingqi Zhang delved into clichés and discovered that they are not just empty expressions; in fact, they carry our so many shared stories and experiences. While many people roll their eyes at phrases like "love at first sight" or "think outside the box," I believe that it is precisely these seemingly ordinary phrases that can bring us closer together as a community. He reached a realisation in this talk, that the charm of clichés lies in their ability to convey our emotions, emotions that almost everyone has experienced. They are like an old friend—though the words may be a bit repetitive, hearing them always warms the heart. Therefore, he called on to stop simply criticizing them and instead explore the true meanings behind these expressions. This speech aims to make the audience reflect that perhaps the next time they hear a cliché, they should pause and think, "What truths does it hold for me?" By doing so, we might find more resonance and understanding, making communication more effective and vivid.
