Allowing and encouraging children to think outside the box is, in my opinion, one of the greatest gifts an adult can give them. To often we limit their achievements and stunt their confidence with a "can't do" or "don't do" attitude. In an environment that encourages and nurtures the imagination, as well as teaches the basics of engineering, craftsmanship, teamwork, and problem solving, any "dangers" whether understood or not
A great example of programs that should be run at every school.

With its powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, it's perfect for maintaining a spotless environment on your desk and beyond. It also has some great features like washable filters and efficient keyboard cleaning. Give it a try!
Very positive initiation indeed. The value of two-handed work is too underestimated these days and needs to be promoted, this is exactly the best way!

Making a mistake and learning from it is learning, not failure.
Failure is doing the same thing over and over again expecting to get different results.
Really how, it teaches them real world skills. I wish I had this growing up and not my Dad yelling at me and telling me to hold something.
Giving people/a group freedom will always have a positive out come
This is a great video. I wish I had had the opportunity to go there when I was younger.
@smkymcnugget420: You make a good point, but the purpose is to get kids to realize that even if initial plan fails there is always a way to rectify it. It teaches them to analyze mistakes and to overcome obstacles, and that is what you should be praised for.
very rarely do I see a ted talk that I find necessary to favorite
this is one of the best ideas i have ever seen i really want to see more like this for the children of the future. BTW first....
can and will be learned in real time. In doing so they learn not to do it again, or at the very least, not to do it the same way. This is a great life lesson.
Brilliant. There should be more of this sort of stuff. We seem to to be stuck in organised processes all the time. Our ancestors probably started off on the path to achieve big things by tinkering.
so constructivist, im a studying teaching and i love these videos..keep em up!
This just reminds me of how much video games and tv waste young minds. Kids are such a natural creative force and yet are left to vegetate in front of televisions for much of their free time. We have our first kid on the way with no tv in our home but a fully equipped wood-shop and a soon-to-be ceramics studio. I look forward to seeing the creative magic that kids are so naturally inclined to exhibit.
Wow, that HOTO Compressed Air Capsule sounds like it could be a handy tool for maintaining a clean and organized desktop setup! The powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, along with the various accessories and efficient storage, seem perfect for tech enthusiasts like us. Plus, the long-lasting battery and lightweight portability are definitely appealing features. Thanks for sharing this recommendation!
I agree, failing is one of the best ways of learning.
I used to tinker with things when I was a kid. Every kid should have that experience.
"You figure things out by fooling around."
>;) Giggidy.
thumbs up. most people can't really think out of the box... or out of what they have been taught of.
Ah don't say that, I've been raised with all kinds of level editors from, spending my days sketching and trying to create the coolest levels to play with my friends in. Sometimes even group projects in which everything needed to organized and roles divided.
It's mainly the console videogames that drain any creativity out of kids while they sit on their couch indeed.
at least these kids actually do what they like in life and unlike normal school people want to drop out because of unnecessary stuff we don't need to learn
i love it, i dont have kids yet, but theyll be there every year!
Bring on a revolution of this.....
I've been doing this stuff for years and now I can do almost anything or least have a atempt at it (tree house next)
Ha I put my own self thru that school late in life all on my own. And I had a blast. All you need is a few tools and to give yourself permission. Anyone can do it.
"Commending," I don't believe, is the right word, but the spirit of the word is. Failure should not be connected to a negative connotation for a child. Children need to be taught that failure can be and should be seen as a good outcome because it is an opportunity to see that their knowledge is faulty and that they should seek to rectify that. Through that process of of trial and error, like Edison's process of inventing the light bulb, eventually they'll come upon the right answer.
TED rawks. inspiring in unimaginable ways
Just goes to show that the best way to stimulate a young minds is to encourage them to use it.
This guy is doing the right things
Failure shouldn't be commended, it should be appreciated for what the failure teaches.
Awsome!!
It isn't out of touch with reality, it IS reality.
That's fantastic, I would send my son there.
Beyond wonderful!!
best idea so far
After watching this video, plus another by TED of this guy, i am going to let my 5 year old girl take stuff apart from now on and not just me :)
Fantastic! Where are such schools??? Why not here and now???
Wow, this is uber-cool and good for kiddie brains
Wonderful!!!
Brilliant! I love it!
I agree, gravity does stop the car from moving away from the track in the upwards direction, but why does the car not travel off the track horizontally, either to the right, or to the left?
Brilliant.
This guy came to a stem night in my school and I actually got to meet him
a risk assessment must have deemed that the children were bright enough to understand the dangers. :D
12 dislikes? HOW AND WHY would you you disapprove of this? I am simply baffled by that. Children need danger and challenges.
I agree with you but doing the same thing over again with a different point of view can bring on a new game.
Same results, different hypothesis, altered observation, altered cognition, varied recogniton.
New idea.
The same thing can give different results.
As far as I know, the only true measurement of anything must begin with the two filters of: where are we & what time is it?
Who loves you TED? Uh, I do.
Interesting.
We do this at our school XD. Only we get graded.
here at 2021
How does the roller coaster car stay on the track?
TInkering 365 is a new channel i join it its also very much helpfull for your kids its about electronics
i approve!! i seriously approve!
ITS ok to make it available to more kids as long as it doesnt cost society any money
available doesnt mean free
it just means more schools like that
but if the guy implies it has to be free then im totally against it
And most people nowdays hate these hardworking innovative entrepreneurs saying they only care about their money.
I say its entrepreneurs such as this guy, Bill Gates and the many who speak at TED who are going to solve the world's problems and progress humanity forward.
Yet, we like to trust our inefficient bureaucratic government more than these people.
they should teach adults too :)
I see he is wearing safety shoes. Are those kids..?
The insurance companies obviously haven't heard of this program yet...
I like the idea of a school system with play-elements. It is great how kids can learn through experimenting, but this is not compatible with life in reality.
I think a school has to teach children how to achieve goals in our (sometimes cruel) society. Maths, history, science... these are fundamental requirements.
It is an interesting concept, but out of touch with reality.
Imagine where kids could go if they were all exposed to things like this instead of just the public school system..
These children are allowed to set their reality for six days rather than know nothing other than their parents'.
lmao
doing the same thing over and over again expecting to get different results is insanity according to einstein.
2020 is the worst
Because failure isn't a goal here- success is. And your equivalence of socialism and failure is, at best, a crude joke.
Calling people morons simply because they disagree with you, or think your comment wasn't useful enough, is a great way to get more thumbs down.
It's also dictatorial, which a hidden assumption in what I think you mean when you say "socialism".
Why, of all people, do Rand groupies fall into this form of right-wing hypocricy?
:-)
nope.
first
haven't you failed when you've gone insane??...
better then the stupid bible camp, i was forced to go too as a kid.
