Why we help develop and amplify student voice

Students are filled with curious, innovative, brilliant and thoughtful ideas; we know there is a significant impact when students are not only asked about their passions and perspectives, but when they work to develop and share those ideas to a larger audience. Through this program, students develop both 21st century skills and are better prepared to advocate for the problems of today and the future.

How the program works

The TED-Ed Student Talks program provides free, customizable activities for educators working with students ages 6-18 in a classroom, school, extra-curricular setting or youth/educational organization. When an educator's application is approved, you receive access to a customized virtual learning platform where you will access our our guided activities and resources, which are standards-based and built on TED-Ed's core learning principles; in addition, you will be able to connect with the TED-Ed staff and fellow educators from around the world.

How the application process works

The TED-Ed Student Talks application is open all year round. The TED-Ed team reviews and approves applications on April 1, August 1 and December 1. Once approved, you will receive access to our customized virtual learning platform for 12 months after which you will have to re-apply to renew and continue your access.
