The Courage of Curiosity: How Questions Build the Future | Ron Shlien | TEDxHEC Montréal

Curiosity is not a personality trait. It is a discipline, one that can shape careers, companies, institutions, and the future itself.

In this TEDx talk, Ron Shlien shares how a childhood experiment at age 13 helped spark the creation of Mad Science, a global STEM education brand, and later influenced his work as Canada’s first Entrepreneur-in-Residence.

Through personal stories and reflections on education, entrepreneurship, innovation, and AI, Ron argues that the future will not belong only to those with the fastest answers, but to those who keep asking better questions.
A visionary entrepreneur and co-founder of Mad Science, a leader in children’s STEM education, Ron Shlien has spent over 40 years designing innovative learning experiences that have inspired millions of young people across 29 countries.?

He served as Canada’s first Entrepreneur-in-Residence, advising the federal government on innovation, science policy, and entrepreneurship. As a mentor at the Creative Destruction Lab, he has supported dozens of early-stage technology companies.?

His work lies at the intersection of education, technology, and public leadership, with a strong commitment to curiosity-driven learning, innovation, and social impact. ✨ This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
