What is TED?
[1] TED is a nonpartisan nonprofit foundation
devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form
of short, powerful talks. TED began in 1984 as
a conference where Technology,
[5] Entertainment and Design converged, and
today covers almost all topics — from science
to business to global issues — in more than 110
languages. Meanwhile, independently run
TEDx events help share ideas in communities
[10] around the world. TED believes passionately
that ideas have the power to change attitudes,
lives, and ultimately, the world. This
underlying philosophy is the driving force
behind all of TED’s endeavors, including the
[15] TED Conferences, TEDx, TED Books, the
TED Fellows Program, and the TED Open
Translation Project. With this philosophy in
mind, and with the intention of supporting
teachers and sparking the curiosity of learners
[20] around the world, TED-Ed was launched in
2012.
What is TED-Ed?
TED-Ed is TED’s youth and education
initiative. TED-Ed’s mission is to spark and
[25] celebrate the ideas of teachers and students
around the world. Everything we do supports
learning — from producing a growing library
of original animated videos, to providing an
international platform for teachers to create
[30] their own interactive lessons, to helping
curious students around the globe bring TED to
their schools and gain presentation literacy
skills, to celebrating innovative leadership
within TED-Ed’s global network of over
[35] 250,000 teachers. TED-Ed has grown from an
idea worth spreading into an award-winning
education platform that serves millions of
teachers and students around the world every
week.
[40] What are TED-Ed Originals?
TED-Ed Originals are our signature
content: short, award-winning animated videos
about ideas that spark the curiosity of learners
everywhere. Every TED-Ed Original
[45] represents a creative collaboration between
experts. Such experts may include TED
Speakers and TED Fellows, as well as
educators, designers, animators, screenwriters,
directors, science writers, historians,
[50] journalists and editors. These original
animated videos, paired with questions and
resources, make up what we refer to as
TED-Ed Lessons.
