TED-Ed Student Talks Program
If you are a high school student or young adult (age 18-20) and enjoy playing video games, please join us in the TED-Ed Student Talks program! We want to hear your ideas, help you develop a talk, and share your perspective with the world as it relates to your experiences playing video games online and with your friends. The top talks will be featured on the TED-Ed platform and at the 2021 Games for Change Festival.
