TED is on a mission to discover and spread ideas that spark imagination, embrace possibility and catalyze impact.

ABOUT TED-ED

TED-Ed is TED’s youth and education initiative. Our mission is to spark and celebrate the ideas of students and educators worldwide by providing free, high-quality educational content and resources. The TED-Ed Programs team designs and manages global initiatives that equip educators and students with the tools to develop and share their ideas in powerful ways. Our work fosters creativity, public speaking, and leadership skills while providing a global platform for powerful educational ideas.

Through successful programs like TED-Ed Student Talks and TED-Ed Educator Talks, we have reached millions of students and educators around the world. As part of our ongoing efforts to have an even broader and greater impact, we now are launching a new, ambitious professional development program for educators that will empower school communities to elevate educator and student voices in even greater ways.
