“TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences -- the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh UK each summer -- TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize” ().

“The two annual TED conferences, in Long Beach/Palm Springs and Edinburgh, Scotland, bring together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes or less)” ().

“We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. So we're building here a clearinghouse that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world's most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other” ().

Your task: join this conversation of thinkers!

1. Select four videos from the following categories:

persuasive, courageous, ingenious, fascinating, inspiring, beautiful, funny, informative

(there are 8 categories, but you need only pick 4 videos from 4 different categories).

2. Each video must be a minimum of 7 minutes (the longer the video, the easier it is to complete the required info on the form.).

3. After observing each video, complete the form in typed form, one form per video.
