Infecting Ahmedabad: Kiran Bir Sethi Teaches Kids to Take Charge (TEDIndia)

TED WARNING: Only go to this site if you have at least 10 minutes (you'll want at least an hour) to watch one of the hundreds of empowering talks. http://www.ted.com/talks

Each year, the world's leading thinkers and doers gather in for an event many describe as the highlight of their year. Attendees have called it "The ultimate brain spa," "Davos for optimists" and "A four-day journey into the future, in the company of those creating it." This event is called TED and it is truly a transformational conference like no other.

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design -- three broad subject areas that are, collectively, shaping our future. And in fact, the event is broader still, showcasing ideas that matter in any discipline. The format is fast paced: 50+ talks over the course of four days (to say nothing of the morning and evening events). This immersive environment allows attendees and speakers from vastly different fields to cross-fertilize and draw inspiration from unlikely places. This is the magic of TED.

Attendance at TED is by invitation only, and the attendees -- CEOs, scientists, designers, intellectuals -- are as extraordinary as the speakers

It's hard to not think of Montessori in this 'infectious' talk by Kiran Bir Sethi.

“I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.”
