Bethuel Terefe
Founder & Executive Director
Bethuel Terefe is the visionary founder of FutureMinds X, a youth-centered nonprofit dedicated to empowering the next generation through STEM, innovation, and emerging technologies. A Junior at Norfolk Collegiate School, Bethuel combines academic excellence with an entrepreneurial spirit, driven by a passion to create meaningful change in his community and beyond.
​
From a young age, Bethuel demonstrated a strong curiosity for science, engineering, and problem-solving. His interests quickly expanded into robotics, computer science, and artificial intelligence—fields that would later inspire the creation of FutureMinds X. Recognizing that many young people lack access to resources, mentorship, and hands-on opportunities in tech, Bethuel founded FMX with a mission: to ignite young minds and equip students with the skills needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital world.

At Norfolk Collegiate, Bethuel is known for his leadership, dedication, and collaborative mindset. He actively participates in academic and service initiatives, consistently seeking ways to bridge the gap between education and real-world innovation. Through FutureMinds X, he is committed to building a platform where students can explore STEM fields, develop creativity, and gain confidence through mentorship, workshops, competitions, and community engagement.
