Social entrepreneur, Startup, Student

I’m Alshimaa Ebrahim, a biotechnology student with a deep passion for creating real impact through science, innovation, and community engagement. I have experience organizing scientific events, workshops, and innovation competitions in areas like artificial intelligence and sustainability. I’ve proudly led interdisciplinary teams and won competitions such as NASA Space Apps and the Orange Egypt AI Hackathon. I truly believe in the TEDx mission of spreading ideas worth sharing, and that’s why I’m organizing TEDx Badr University Assiut to empower young minds and bring inspiring stories to my university community.

I’m passionate about using science and innovation to solve real-world problems and create a meaningful impact in my community. I love empowering young people, sharing knowledge, and building platforms where bold ideas can inspire positive change.

True change begins when young minds are empowered to think beyond limits. I believe that by creating a space where diverse voices and bold ideas can be heard, we can ignite innovation, challenge outdated norms, and shape a more sustainable and inspiring future. TEDxBadr university Assiut is my way of giving a platform to ideas that can move communities forward.

The first time I watched a TED Talk, I was amazed by how one idea shared with passion could shift your thinking in just a few minutes. I kept watching more, feeling inspired and motivated to learn, dream, and act. TED became more than just talks to me; it became a mindset. That’s why I decided to bring TEDx to my university, to give others the same spark of inspiration I once felt, and to create a space where bold ideas can find their voice and impact others.

People don’t know I’m good at turning complex scientific ideas into simple, inspiring messages that others can easily understand and connect with. I’m also great at bringing diverse teams together and turning creative chaos into a clear, impactful vision.
