The TED-Ed Clubs program supports students in discovering, exploring and presenting their big ideas in the form of short, TED-style talks. In TED-Ed Clubs, students work together to discuss and celebrate creative ideas. Club Leaders receive TED-Ed's flexible curriculum to guide their Members in developing presentation literacy skills to help inspire tomorrow's TED speakers and future leaders.

This presentation was completed by participating in a TED-Ed Club and produced independently of the TED Conferences. Only approved Club Leaders are able to upload TED-Ed Club presentations on behalf of their students. Check out ed.ted.com/clubs if you're interested in starting a Club.
