Raj Kirpalani

Student

Hi! My name is Raj Kirpalani and I am a 2020-2022 student at United World College Red Cross Nordic. Ever since I started middle school, I was fascinated by the concept of TED talks. Although I must admit that I typically enjoyed the more comedic talks, this passion for the sharing of knowledge is still an idea that I carry with me to this day. Consequently, I jumped at the opportunity to participate in the organization of TEDx events in my community. Through this position, I've learnt valuable skills in event planning, collaboration, and outreach. I continue to empower those with something to say in the hopes that one day I will have my own idea worth spreading.

Although I'm still in the secondary stages of my education, I've found some subjects which have appealed to me more than others. For one, the concepts of electrical engineering and computer science are both fields that captivate me. I've spent my last 4 years exploring the potential of renewable energies from economic, political, and scientific perspectives. I hope to further explore these applications of engineering and CS. Until then, I work through my TEDx events with alert eyes for new ideas, particularly when it comes to physics and CS.
