Top 5 TEDxTeen Talks

Top 5 TEDxTeen Talks | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"Not every teenager sits around, texting endlessly and at all the wrong times, causing their parents to worry about a possible addiction to technology. Some of them give TED talks in their spare time.

How will we talk about feminism? What does it mean to "fail," and why shouldn't we fail better? What is love? Why isn't America investing in young black men? And are the people who create change the silent supporters rather than the vocal leaders? In this curated selection of TEDxTeen Talks, the adolescent version of the adult TED Talks, five teens discuss these ideas and how they collide with their own stories."

The Fischbowl: Don't Fear Failure

The Fischbowl: Don't Fear Failure | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"One of the problems I think we have in schools is that we train students to fear failure, to avoid it at all costs. Now, to be clear, I'm not suggesting you go out and fail all your classes. But I am suggesting that you should take some risks in your learning. That instead of avoiding things that are hard (because you might fail), you challenge yourself to step up and take on things that are difficult."

This also includes a TEDtalk by Myshkin Ingawale. The site states "The important point to realize is that he built this device - and it failed. So then he built it 32 more times until it worked."
