TED-Ed is a branch of TED devoted to Education. The TED-Ed Club endeavors to prepare students to give TED-like talks, 3-18 minutes talks on ideas worth spreading. Through the TED-Ed Club, students develop a multitude of skills including public speaking, collaboration, risk-taking, persuasion, and global interaction.
TEDx is the main event the students work towards, using their TED-Ed Club Talks as a formative assessment. During the TEDx Event, students deliver their talks to an audience of 100 community members. Their talks are professionally filmed, and uploaded to the TEDx YouTube Channel.
