SHOWCASE
OUR FAVOURITE TALKS FROM TED AND TEDx.
At TEDx Cooks Hill, our theme Beyond Boundaries is about exploring new frontiers, pushing limits, and inspiring change.
As we prepare for this year’s event, we want to celebrate TED Talks that have pushed the boundaries of science and challenged conventional thinking. Here are some of the most impactful TED Talks that embody this spirit.
