Sudarshan Praveen

Student

Hello! My name is Sudarshan Praveen, and I am a rising senior at Enloe High School. I am interested in the workings of science and technology, but what truly drives me is understanding how scientific knowledge can be used to improve the lives of people. In the future, I aspire to combine my passions for science and community service through my work.

My first exposure to TED was through TED-Ed's riddles on YouTube, which I loved trying to solve as an elementary school (often without success). It was during eighth grade when I first participated in my middle school's TEDx event as a speaker, an experience that I cherish. By starting a TEDx chapter at my current high school, I hope to bring this experience to many more students and help them build the confidence to make their voices heard.
