TEDx Centreville Chicopee Youth
Ideas worth
spreading.
Starting here.
TEDx Centreville Chicopee Youth is a platform for ideas, perspectives, and conversations that have the potential to make us think differently.
What is TED?
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It supports a global community of people and ideas through talks, events, and other initiatives.
What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
At a TEDx event, TED Talks videos and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. TEDx Centreville Chicopee Youth is independently organized and operates under license from TED.
Why
TEDxCCY?
Ideas don't have to start somewhere famous to matter.
They can start in a classroom, a conversation, a community, or with a young person asking a question no one else thought to ask.
TEDx Centreville Chicopee Youth exists to create space for those ideas, to inspire and empower the next generation of thinkers and doers.
We believe in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives, and ultimately, the world.
Make room for
better questions.
Our mission is grounded in the curiosity, courage, and connection that make ideas worth spreading.
Curious
We ask better questions.
Courageous
We challenge assumptions.
Connected
We bring people and perspectives together.
Forward-looking
We think about what comes next.
Not Gen Z. Not Gen Alpha.
Generation AI.
We didn't choose AI. We grew up alongside it.
Artificial intelligence is changing how we learn, create, communicate, and imagine the future. But technology is only part of the conversation.
Generation AI asks a different question:
What happens when the people growing up with AI become the people shaping what comes next?
How is AI changing the way we learn?
What happens when humans create with machines?
Who gets to shape what comes next?
What do we owe each other in an AI-shaped world?
Have an idea
worth exploring?
TEDxCCY is built around curiosity, conversation, and ideas worth spreading.
