In a TED-Ed Club, students inquire and explore great ideas with peers, including peers from across divisions and around the world. Students will research and develop their own ""idea worth spreading"" and learn how to present it in the form of a short, TED-style talk.

In a TEDx Event, students deliver their TED-style talk to inspire their local community. Because TEDx Events are recorded and videos are made from their talks, their voices and ideas are amplified across the world.

This session prepares educators with the knowledge and skills to establish a TED-Ed Club and organize a TEDx Event at their school.
