Our 2026 Theme Is:
"The Butterfly Effect."
The Butterfly Effect is the idea that a small action can have far reaching consequences. In the eponymous example, a flap of a butterfly's wings adds just enough energy and momentum to a budding hurricane to send it halfway around the world. In this event, we invite you to examine the ripples of the Butterfly Effect and how they affect both societal and personal change. Academically motivated students are used to turning coincidences into creation, and in this event, we'll examine and appreciate the usually invisible, yet ever-present cascading effects in our lives. Tune in to the NCSSM TEDxYouth Event January 2026, and come prepared to see how even the smallest of actions can take the world by storm.
