المتحدث

Hi! I'm Adam, an eternally curious 16 year old learning enthusiast, who is passionate about advancing the traditional education system, breaking down barriers, and inspiring others to follow their curiosities at any age! My personal mantra is #abilitynotage - which means that I believe that people should be viewed by their abilities and capabilities and not just by their age. I am the youngest ever university student in the UAE, having started at age 12, and I’ve completed 3 years at the University of Wollongong in Dubai alongside highschool. I have been named one of the Future Top 25 Under 25 global changemakers by the Future Minds Network at age 11, and am one of the youngest TEDx speakers in the world. I'm super passionate about all things urban planning and transit and recently completed a 6 month internship at Hitachi Rail. I am also a global ambassador for Innotrans Berlin - the largest transit conference in the world.
