TED-Ed Clubs are a part of TED-Ed’s Student Talks Program, a free curriculum for students and educators on a mission to identify, develop, and deliver students´ ideas via TED-style talks under the slogan “ideas worth spreading”. When it was founded, in 1984, TED (which stands for “Technology, Entertainment, and Design”) brought together a few hundred people in a single annual conference in California.
A total of 5 teams with 11 students of 1st Bat participated in TED-ED Club Reus-Baix Camp on the past 11th May at the auditorium in l´Hospitalet de l´Infant. This educational project consisted of giving a 3-minute talk about the needs that society demands (health, technology and money). Carrying out this new challenge the pupils developed not only their creativity but also their oral communication skills.The task was included in the course curriculum and the most creative presentations were chosen to participate in this experience.
The convention lasted two hours and at the end all the participants were awarded with a Certificate for participating in the TED-ED Club Talks 2023 edition. Students and teachers had great time. Congratulations to everybody!!!

These are some of the opinions of the participants:
«Taking part in the Ted-Ed Club has been a great experience. At first, I had a lot of doubts about participating and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do it or not but finally I enjoyed myself. Presenting my talk has helped me to speak confidently in public.»
Carla Gil Villegas
«When I was told about the possibility of participating in the Ted-Ed Club, I was lacking in confidence in myself because I had to present it in front of many people. But thanks to my classmates and the work done at the end of the process I felt confident. I have learned a lot of things,I have overcome my fear of public speaking and now I know that I’m not so bad at speaking in English as I thought.Thanks Alison for being confident with me and thinking that I could do it and always supporting me.»
Carlotta Colom Escots
«The opportunity to participate in the TED-Ed Club has been great. I was a little bit nervous but once I was on the stage I calmed myself down. After the presentation I was very proud of my effort and my talk. I will never forget this experience!»
