TEDxRCHK Youth – Ideas Change Everything

The TEDxRCHK Youth 2024 speaker line-up includes a group of courageous and talented student speakers from RCHK, along with a guest speaker, Megan Jacques, who will turn the RCHK PAC into a TEDx stage. 

We invite parents and students to join and be inspired by the talks crafted for you by TEDxRCHK Youth team. Their ultimate aim is to provide everyone with a global platform to share knowledge and perspectives with passion through presentations and short talks. We want your ideas to be channelled openly because “ideas change everything”. 

Arinjoy De, having an innate interest in any discipline concerning design, certainly has a lot to vocalize on the current state of mainstream branding and its everlasting implications. Being an inceptive 16-year-old, he has pursued a myriad of endeavours within the realms of marketing, design, and most importantly architecture. Alternatively, Arinjoy is an avid musician, a STEM fanatic, and (maybe) a geography guru.

Megan Jacques 

Megan Jacques is a vibrant blend of French charm and Chinese heritage. A true adventurer, she thrives on unearthing hidden gems, indulging in mouthwatering cuisine, and sparking deep conversations about identity and culture. When she’s not shocking locals with her flawless Cantonese, she’s exploring the city’s best-kept secrets or savouring her latest foodie find. Equal parts culture enthusiast and storyteller, Megan is a living testament to the beauty of embracing multiple worlds with open arms.

Ryan Ng

Ryan enjoys lots of different things. In his free time, you can find him programming, working on mathematics, doing high school debates, producing music, running the school newspaper, and more. He can’t remember what he’s doing right now. But he doesn’t think any of us are defined by any individual role or hobby. We are the sum of our own lived experiences — the best thing about RCHK’s annual TED event is that it provides a rare window into these invaluable authentic experiences.

Hrithik Samtani

Hrithik Samtani is a Year 12 academic scholarship student with a strong passion for psychology and social sciences. From being the CEO of Renaissance College’s JA (Junior Achievement) Business Company to being elected as Song House Captain twice in a row, he has vast experience working with others. This has given him unique insights into prevalent cognitive patterns among his peers, which he aspires to enlighten and share with a wider audience.

Evie Sum

Evie Sum is a 16-year-old student who bounces from interest to interest. Part of a debating club, she thrives on exploring diverse perspectives, effortlessly switching between both sides of the argument. Her passion extends into chemistry and physics, and she always pursues more knowledge than she really needs to so that she can understand ‘why.’

Athan Wong

Athan Wong is the 16-year-old chairman of the 175th Venture Group and one of the youngest Scouts going for the prestigious Dragon Scout and the Scout of the Year award. He believes that Scouting is integral to ensure that one is disciplined and strong-willed. Outside of scouting, Athan is an academic and a debater, and he runs his school’s Biomedicine Society.
