Ideas worth spreading
What's TED-Ed Student Talk
At TED-Ed Student Talk, students have the opportunity to discover and explore great ideas with their peers and other students around the world. They will research and develop their own "idea worth spreading," while also learning how to present it in the form of a short, TED-style talk.
Class Structure
Identify Your Passion
"What makes your heart beat faster?" is the first part of the curriculum that encourages students to explore the ideas they are passionate about. This involves introducing themselves to the class and sharing their interests. Through engaging in various activities designed to expand their curiosity, participants will identify and discuss the things that matter most to them.
Choose Your Idea
“What is your big idea?" As students progress through the curriculum, they will be challenged to identify and shape a unique story that only they can tell. With guided brainstorming and peer feedback exercises, students will craft their very own TED-style talk from researching and writing the script to visualizing the ideas and delivering the presentation.
Start Talking
"How can your idea change the world?" This thought-provoking question is just one of the many prompts that students will explore during their cycle. By the end, they will have crafted and recorded their own talk, which will be uploaded to our YouTube channel for sharing with their families, friends, communities, and the world.
