How to find gold in the cracks of your life | Amimul Ehsan Khan | TEDxTIU
At the age of nine, he lost his mother, and with her, he lost his sense of direction. Once a top student and class leader, he slowly began to withdraw from the world, unable to see meaning in achievements that once mattered. Years later, a single image on social medialed him to a story that mirrored his own loss but responded to it differently: with purpose.That encounter quietly shifted something within him. Today, he is honored and grateful to be empowering thousands of young people around the world to take action and create positive change, helping them find their own purpose and voice. Amimul Ehsan Khan is a Tokyo-based Marketing Manager at an IT company and the Project Management Lead at the global youth-led nonprofit Awareness 360. Originally from Bangladesh, he graduated from Tokyo International University in 2023 with a degree in International Relations. Honored with the Diana Award for his outstanding social impact, Khan balances his professional work with passions for youth empowerment, traveling, and cooking.

- 15:27A Missing Piece in Today’s AI World | Robert Stroud | TEDxTIUAs AI becomes a powerful presence in our daily lives, students today face a critical choice: will AI replace their thinking, or challenge them to think deeper? In this TEDx talk, Dr. Robert Stroud explores how the growing use of AI in education risks weakening our most essential tool: the human mind. He argues that struggle, often seen as something to avoid, is actually the foundation of real learning and growth. When we let AI do the thinking for us, we lose the chance to develop original ideas, question assumptions, and truly understand. But when we engage with AI critically, using it as a tool, we grow as thinkers, creators, and leaders. This talk is a call to action for students: Don’t give away your power to think. Use AI to push yourself, not replace yourself. Because the future won’t be built by those who take shortcuts. It will be built by those who keep thinking. Dr. Robert Stroud is a professor at Hosei University in Japan, specializing in the use of technology to enhance education. He advocates for the thoughtful integration of digital tools to create meaningful, equitable learning environments. His work focuses on empowering students to become critical thinkers, self-directed learners, and socially conscious individuals in an increasingly AI-driven world.
