TEDxIJSHS Youth 2026 will be held under the theme “Prompting the Future: The Art of Asking.” This event explores how meaningful questions can shape learning, creativity, human judgment, and the future. Led by student speakers, the event will feature ideas related to AI, technology and humanity, ethical responsibility, scientific inquiry, and the power of questions. Rather than focusing only on answers, TEDxIJSHS Youth invites our school community to think about what kinds of questions can move us toward a more thoughtful and human future.

  • Eunyul Lee

    Student

    Eunyul Lee is a student at Incheon Jinsan Science High School who is interested in how artificial intelligence is changing the way we think, learn, and make decisions. Through her own experiences using AI, she began to wonder whether all questions are meant to be answered—or whether some questions exist to help us better understand ourselves. In her TEDx talk, she explores the difference between the questions that solve problems and the questions that shape who we become.

  • Gaeun Lee

    Student

    Gaeun Lee is a student at Incheon Jinsan Science High School. Passionate about science, she is also deeply interested in its ethical dimensions and the connection between science and the humanities. She enjoys exploring how technology, innovation, and scientific advances can be used to benefit society. In her TEDx talk, she shares her perspective on why cooperation and healthy communities are essential, based on the belief that nothing meaningful can be achieved alone.

  • Gibeom Yun

    Student

    Gibeom Yoon is a student at Incheon Jinsan Science High School who is passionate about energy engineering and using science and technology to create a better future for society. Inspired by his own journey of discovering who he is, he believes that the most important question in the age of AI is not what technology can answer, but what only we can answer about ourselves. In his TEDx Youth talk, he explores why asking "Who am I?" is the first step toward making meaningful choices in a world full of endless possibilities.

  • Giho Shin

    Student

    Giho Shin is a student at Incheon Jinsan Science High School with a passion for chemistry and artificial intelligence. He is particularly interested in how AI is changing the way scientists discover, understand, and question the molecular world. Believing that every scientific breakthrough begins with a meaningful question, he explores how the role of chemists is evolving in the age of AI. In this talk, he invites the audience to rethink not merely what AI can do, but also what only humans can ask.

  • Gyeongbin Lee

    Student

    Lee Gyeongbin is a student at Incheon Jinsan Science High School with an interest in artificial intelligence, language, and the hidden meanings behind human communication. Through his experiences with sign language and writing letters, he became curious about how emotions can exist beyond spoken or written words. In his TEDx talk, he asks whether AI can truly read between the lines, and what human understanding means in an age when machines can generate words more easily than ever.

  • Hayun Kim

    Student

    Hayun Kim is a student at Incheon Jinsan Science High School who is interested in looking at the world from new perspectives based on scientific principles. She is especially interested in how the wisdom found in life can provide insights and lessons for modern society. Her TEDx talk shares her thoughts on what abilities humans need in the age of AI, based on the 4 billion years of life’s journey.

  • Jiwon Choi

    Student

    Jiwon Choi is a student at Incheon Jinsan Science High School who became interested in questioning the solution through her experiences with environmental issues. She is curious about how questioning seemingly simple solutions can reveal hidden consequences, trade-offs, and better possibilities. Her TEDx talk explores why we should not simply accept solutions as they are, but continue asking, “What are we missing?”

  • Minjeong Kim

    Student

    Minjeong Kim is a student at Incheon Jinsan Science High School, drawn to a question that grows louder as machines grow smarter. What still belongs to us as people? She has watched AI learn to read our bodies and even foresee the illnesses waiting in our future. Yet the more she looked, the more she felt the real question was never about the machine, but about us. In her TEDx talk, she opens a box that holds the date of your future illness and turns to the quiet dilemma of genetic testing, where knowing your fate changes nothing except how you carry it. AI can calculate when we will fall ill, but no equation can tell us how to live with that answer. And so her question is not "When will I get sick?" It is "Am I really living today?"

  • Seoyeon Kim

    Student

    Seoyeon Kim is a student at Incheon Jinsan Science High School with a strong interest in science and human-centered innovation. Through her research experiences, she discovered that while AI can accelerate learning and provide instant answers, it cannot replace the human ability to question, judge, and create meaning. Inspried by both scientific inquiry and literature, she explores how the AI era is changing the way we think. In her TEDx talk, she invites the audience to reflect on the importance of independent thinking and meaningful questions in a world filled with instant information.
