  • Carlo Alejandro González González

    Highschool Student

    Howdy, I'm Carlo González. Currently, I´m a Senior in high school studying the physics and mathematics program. What makes me special is that I´m always willing to learn something new, and not only learn it, but improve it. I'm passionate about learning and experiencing new things, especially in civil or petroleum engineering, which has caught my attention lately. A couple of skills I have are good communication and being a good decision-maker.

  • Carlos Eduardo Lozano Delgadillo

    Highschool Student

    I am a high school student interested in psychology, habits, and self-improvement. I focus on understanding how small daily actions shape who we become and how we can take control of them. I enjoy learning about human behavior, discipline, and performance. Through personal experience, I have explored how habits influence our focus, emotional stability, and long-term success. I like analyzing why people struggle with consistency and how small changes can create meaningful results. I'm passionate about Helping people become more aware of their daily decisions and how those decisions silently build their identity. I’m passionate about self-improvement, discipline, and understanding the psychology behind habits.

  • Casin Alexander Moreno Ponce

    Highschool Student

    Today I want to talk about how we use our time. Many of us spend hours on social media instead of doing things that help us grow. Our brain can improve if we use it, but it weakens if we don’t. Also, not everything we see online is true, especially with AI. That’s why critical thinking is so important. So the question is: Will you keep wasting time on screens, or will you build a better future?

  • Danna Paola Ruiz García

    Highschool Student

    Hi everyone I’m Danna so about I’m in sixth semester which means that I’m a senior and I’m planning to study mechanical and electrical engineering, I’m really into math, physics and basically everything that requires numbers, even though a lot of people find numbers boring or maybe hard it has always been a facility which I love having.

  • Denisse Mariana Tejeda Zamora

    Highschool Student

    I am a student at Prepas La Salle Bajío who cares about finding practical ways to slow down—small relaxation techniques and mindful moments that feel possible even when life seems overwhelming. I was born and raised in León, Guanajuato. I met my best friend at primary school. In secondary school, I made friendships that changed me for good. It wasn’t until I started preparatory school that I was able to polish my interests. I faced a lot of challenges: being at a new school where I knew nobody and having to make new friends. Even though it was hard, I was able to see the good things in this new era of my life, because when you’re new and nobody knows who you are, you’re able to be a totally new person. This era of my life, which I’m currently about to finish, has helped me become more mature and start to shape the kind of person I have always wanted to become, the kind of person who will always do something to help others.

  • Fernanda Paulina Leal Andrade

    Highschool Student

    dedicated to helping her generation reclaim their personal agency. As an aspiring electromechanical engineer, Fernanda combines a logical, structured mindset with a deep passion for social impact. She focuses on providing young people with the essential tools to make independent decisions, free from the influence of digital trends and external pressures. Driven by her own journey toward autonomy, Fernanda’s mission is to ensure that the next generation’s path is defined by their own voices and self-assured choices. I am passionate about: The intersection of logic and human expression, from the predictable laws of physics to the unpredictable choices we make every day. My curiosity for how we navigate these systems—whether through mathematics or the storytelling of Tim Burton—leads me to a vital question: Does this have an impact on future generations?

  • José Emilio Valtierra Preciado

    Educator and Agrotechnology Researcher

    I am an educator and agrotechnology researcher based in León, Guanajuato, dedicated to bridging the gap between technical innovation and human development. With a degree in Agronomy from Universidad La Salle Bajío, my career has centered on controlled-environment agriculture, specifically vertical hydroponic systems (PFALs). My research focuses on optimizing crop yields for leafy greens through specialized LED lighting and nutrient management, aiming to make sustainable indoor farming more efficient. Parallel to my technical work, I have found deep fulfillment in academia as a high school and university instructor. I specialize in teaching Geography and Agribusiness, where I mentor students in navigating complex socio-environmental challenges. I view myself as a facilitator helping others achieve their goals. I believe that true success in both science and teaching is found not at the "lonely top," but in the collaborative plateaus where shared knowledge creates real impact.

  • Karla Estrella Padilla Servín

    Highschool Student

    I am a curious and determined student who is passionate about learning, growth, and pushing my own limits. I was born on September 28, 2008, and I have always been interested in understanding both the world and myself through challenges and new experiences. I’m passionate about sports, especially basketball and endurance-based activities. Through sports, I have learned the importance of discipline, resilience, and mental strength. For me, physical activity is not only about performance, but also about the constant dialogue between the mind and the body, and how we choose to respond when we are pushed to our limits.

  • Sofía Márquez González

    Highschool Student

    I am a high school senior in the chemical-biological program, interested in understanding how the world and society work and in creating positive change by leaving a meaningful impact. I enjoy reflecting, writing, traveling, exercising, and trying a bit of everything. Something people don’t usually know about me is that I’m good at dancing, writing, and sports.

  • Victoria Fernández Balsadua

    Highschool Student

    I am a high school senior in the physics and mathematics program. I’m passionate about learning new stuff and creating new things (painting, drawing, …). I think an idea word spreading is related to cheering someone up and making them feel better, and I hope my TED story can be that type of idea. And finally, people don’t know I’m good at making art (singing, drawing, DIY, ...)."
