I’m Nicolas Grineberg, a student storyteller and media creator based in Miami, Florida. I’m the founder and president of TEDxGulliver Prep, a student-led platform built to give ideas a stage and voices a space to be heard. Through my work in broadcast journalism, filmmaking, and commentary, I focus on using media as a form of service—creating content that sparks conversation, encourages critical thinking, and connects people through shared ideas. I’ve led productions ranging from daily live shows to high-level competitions, earning recognition through Student Emmy nominations and statewide awards. Beyond creating, I’m passionate about mentorship, helping other students find their voice and elevate their work. Whether it’s through a camera, a stage, or a conversation, my goal is simple: create work that resonates and leaves something behind.

Using media to serve others Building platforms for student voices Storytelling that sparks real conversations Mentorship and developing young creators Blending creativity with purpose

The most powerful ideas don’t come from having the loudest voice—they come from creating space for more voices to be heard.

I was first introduced to TED when I was about eight years old. I had randomly googled my mom’s name and came across a talk she had given at a local university. I clicked on it out of curiosity, and it quickly became one of my favorite videos to watch. From there, I kept coming back to TED, watching talks, solving riddles, and exploring ideas that challenged how I thought. There was something about the way complex ideas were shared so clearly that stuck with me. Years later, I had the opportunity to be part of a TED-style event in Mexico City. That experience shifted everything. It wasn’t just about watching ideas anymore, it was about creating a space where they could exist and be shared. That’s when it clicked. I wanted to bring that same energy to my own community. So I started TEDxGulliver Prep, not just as an event, but as a process. A space where students can develop their ideas, find their voice, and share something that actually matters. For me, TED has always been more than talks. It’s about giving ideas a place to live, and making sure they reach the people who need to hear them.

Breaking down complex ideas and rebuilding them into something clear, engaging, and worth paying attention to.
