TEDxUConn is a student run group, licensed by TED, that independently organizes the TEDxUConn event each year. Our goal is to bring together members of our community to give talks that provoke learning, inspiration, wonder, and conversation. Our conferences are structured around a theme, and our theme for this conference is The Art of Possibility. In a world often shaped by real and perceived limitations, "The Art of Possibility" invites us to reimagine what is possible when we challenge conventional thinking. Whether in science, education, business, arts, humanities, or even personal growth, we are often constrained by the boundaries we assume to exist. However, recreating what is possible encourages us to break free from those confines, to ask "what if," and to embrace innovation and optimism as tools for shaping the future. We hope to explore how the local UConn community transforms challenges into opportunities, turning uncertainty into inspiration. By seeing potential where others see obstacles, we open "The Art of Possibility" and unlock the potential for a better tomorrow.Please RSVP for this event by March 24th, 2025, using the following link:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScFRz_J8KvCywro3938cduIEfai23ciyLodNMtZjMzJ6iPtcg/viewform (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScFRz_J8KvCywro3938cduIEfai23ciyLodNMtZjMzJ6iPtcg/viewform)  For more information, please visit: https://tedxuconn.rso.uconn.edu/ (https://tedxuconn.rso.uconn.edu/)  This is an Honors Event.
