WANTED:
Schrodinger's Cat
DEAD OR ALIVE
The theme is intentionally vague to include a wide array of talks. This year’s annual spring conference theme is ‘Schrödinger's Cat’, a concept that embodies the conflicts between the certainty and hesitance that we feel in many aspects of our daily lives. As life and its challenges grow more nuanced, we often find ourselves uncertain, living in a state of inner conflict. We’re forced to live with those conflicts, becoming hostile with ourselves as those struggles take on any number of forms. So how do we reconcile these inconsistencies, learn to embrace the unknown, and accept life’s absurdities while finding ways to love and thrive within them? Through this theme, we hope that you’ll delve into the dualities that define the human experience, uncovering how to navigate uncertainty and face the future with courage and purpose.

You’ve heard of the talks. Now take that concept and center it in UCIrvine.
Voila! That’s us.
We’re one of many branches of the TEDx program, which seeks to uplift voices within local communities. Our events are self-organized, but sponsored by TED and embody the same spirit of sharing ideas worth spreading. With live speakers taking the stage, we aim to provide platforms for those who may not always get the opportunity and spark meaningful discussion to be remembered.
