This year, the team at TEDxSydney took on a seemingly impossible task: feed 2,200 people with only the food grown in their own backyards. There was fear; there was trepidation; there were even pigs; but -- in the end -- the mission was successful.

Moving responses from students who attended TEDxYouth@Midwest in Chicago this month:

I used to think… “I was one of the few teenagers passionate about science.”
Now I think… “TED is all about diversity of ideas and other people are as passionate about science as I am.”

I used to think… “That because I am considered a minority, I would not be able to do amazing things I really want to do.”
Now I think… “That I can do anything I set my mind to if I do not let anything hold me back. Only I can prevent myself from achieving my goals and my passion.”

"You can’t teach sports unless you have a gym. And it’s the same idea for the 21st-century skills we want to teach kids: innovation, creativity, critical thinking, deep understanding of science and technology. If you don’t have a place to teach these skills, you can’t really do a good job.

You can’t teach those skills in a classroom with 40 chairs and a blackboard. That’s just not how scientists work; that’s not how technologists work. It’s not a good way to teach those skills.

In the same way that we can’t assess these skills with a traditional paper and pencil test, you can’t test if someone can swim well by giving them a multiple choice test."

Below, the first of 5 animated lessons specially developed by +CERN   scientists for +TEDxCERN and brought to life by the talented animators at TED-Ed: “The beginning of the universe, for beginners.”

The lesson, conceived by physicist Tom Whyntie, explains how cosmologists and particle physicists explore questions like, “How did the universe begin?” by replicating the heat, energy, and activity of the first few seconds of our universe, right after the Big Bang.

+TEDxCERN will be webcast live on May 3rd, from 14:00 to 20:00 (CEST). For more information, visit their website: http://tedxcern.web.cern.ch/ Enjoy!
