Owlcast 60 - TED-Ed Club - Student Edition
When founded in 1984, TED (“Technology, Entertainment, and Design”) brought together a few hundred people in a single annual conference in California. Today, TED is not just an organizer of private conferences; it’s a global phenomenon with multi-million dollars in revenues.
From Ideas Worth Sharing, the motto of TED, came TED-Ed, a global network of over 650,000 teachers. TED-Ed has grown from an idea worth spreading into an award-winning education platform that serves millions of teachers and students worldwide every week.
Many schools worldwide, including ACS Athens, organise and inspire student participation in TED-Ed activities and competitions. ACS Athens has for many years encouraged innovation through personal inspiration and achievement. Students have chosen subjects that excite and inspire them, and this year was no different.
Today we have two of the students of this year’s TED-Ed club, who participated in presentations in Perugia, Italy, along with their advisors, Christina Rocha and Stavi Dimas. Today's discussion brings up the topics of their diverse talks, which explored AI in one presentation and Folk Music in the other, along with why they chose the topic that speaks to their passion.
With our TED-Ed'ers today, we discuss:
