At just 12 years old, Elena is stepping onto the TEDx Questfield Intl College Youth stage for the second time. Earlier this year, at the very first edition of the event — when she was only 11 — she amazed the audience with her talk “AI in Education: A Tool, Not a Teacher.”

Her speech was clear, well-structured, and filled with meaningful messages that resonated deeply with the audience. The reactions said it all: laughter at her witty remarks, engagement throughout her talk, and a wave of enthusiastic applause at the end.

Now, she’s back with a brand-new idea — and we can’t wait to see what she’s prepared for this autumn’s edition!

Outside the spotlight, Elena is a kind and friendly Year 7 student at Questfield International College. She speaks Romanian, English, and Greek fluently, while also studying French. She loves maths and science and has a natural talent for crafting. A also enjoys swimming, practising karate, travelling, and discovering new places, cultures, and flavours.

If she could have a magical power, she would choose to make everyone happy.
