Why I Love Being a Troublemaker | Yeonsoo Cho | TEDxNowon Youth
TEDx Talks· 2025-10-01 15:42
Okay. So, I have a little confession. I am a troublemaker.Not the square kind. Amen. The funny, silly, smelly, massy kind.The kindest to water, your food, the stomach, and sometimes ask way too many questions in S class. Yep, that's me, Ali. And guess what.I think being a troublemaker can actually help change the world. Let me explain. When you spill water, forgot thanks or myself is not always bad.Sometimes it helps to see the word in a totally different way. Like on time I draw my sandwich upside down. Le ...
Three Strategies: Use AI Wisely, Not Blindly | Yinuo Wang | TEDxHWSSH Youth
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-24 14:59
AI and Education: Challenges and Strategies - Over-reliance on AI in education is a growing concern, exemplified by students submitting AI-generated content without critical review [1][2] - A study indicated that students using AI for math problems showed 42% less performontal vortex activation compared to solving problems independently, highlighting the importance of mindful AI usage [3] Proposed Strategies for Human-AI Coexistence in Learning - The "321 Law" advocates for three self-attempts at problem-solving before consulting AI to foster independent thinking and problem-solving skills [3][4] - Implementing "Two AI Checks" by comparing outputs from different AI tools can reveal algorithmic biases and stimulate original thinking [5] - "One Human Verify" emphasizes the importance of verifying AI-generated content, especially regarding numerical data and current events, to avoid inaccuracies [5][6] - Incorporating "Brain Breaks," short periods of mental rest, can enhance creativity, potentially exceeding that of advanced AI models like ChatGPT4 [6][7][8] - The "AI plus Hand" strategy suggests using AI to pose questions, similar to the Socratic method, to encourage deeper thinking and learning [8][9] Impact of Strategies - A 2024 Stanford study suggests that incorporating Zstab (likely referring to a specific learning technique or tool) alongside AI use boosts retention by 41% compared to relying solely on AI [6] Key Takeaway - AI should be viewed as a tool to enhance learning, not as a replacement for critical thinking and independent problem-solving [11]

Problem Solving through Shifting Perspective | Allen Huang | TEDxSHSID Youth
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-19 14:56
Core Idea - Perspective is crucial for problem-solving, encompassing different angles, zooming out, growth mindset, and collaboration [15] - Changing perspective can transform challenges into opportunities [12][15] Problem-Solving Strategies - Looking at problems from different angles turns them into opportunities for learning and growth [2] - Zooming out to see the bigger picture simplifies complex problems [6] - A growth mindset, viewing challenges as puzzles, fosters improvement [9][10] - Collaboration leverages diverse strengths for faster and better solutions [12][13] Mathematical Perspective - Math is presented as a puzzle-solving activity, where perspective helps crack the code [1][2] - Different approaches to math problems, such as addition vs subtraction, offer alternative solutions [5] - Complex math problems can be simplified by breaking them down into smaller components [6][8] Application and Mindset - The principles apply to various fields beyond math, including sports and spelling [11] - Encourages confronting challenges rather than avoiding them [15]
Accidental Mayor: From Debugging Chips to Solving City Problems | Liangfang Chao | TEDxCSTU
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-12 15:42
[Music] Hey, I was an engineer but accidentally somehow I became a mayor, the mayor of Certino in the heart of city Silicon Valley where Apple is located. You'll never know what you are capable of or even be great at until you try. 10 years ago, if a fortune teller told me, "One day you'll be standing here as the mayor of Certino," I would have left and I went back to look coding.I'm a coder. I'm still working at a startup writing software to accelerate integrated circuits and now printed circuit board desi ...
Why startups fail #shorts #tedx
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-11 17:01
Innovation is simply the creative ability to solve problems. Maybe you're thinking, "Well, what's the difference? Isn't coming up with a solution the same thing as solving a problem?" Actually, no. Starting with solutions actually limits you.Think of it like continuing to buy tissues because your nose is running when the actual problem is you're allergic to the sesame seeds on your morning bagel. I firmly believe that we can reduce the startup failure rate by doing two things. First, as we build, continuall ...
Constructive Conflict: How Disagreements Lead to Better Buildings | Jay Greene | TEDxBowdoinCollege
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-04 15:29
Right. I've worked as a construction manager for about a decade now and I would say probably half of what I do is to just handle conflicts. There is a ton of conflict in construction.And that's pro mostly just because of the way our projects are structured. Imagine if every time we built an airplane, we changed the design and built it in a new location with a new group of people who had never worked together before. So on every project, we're solving hundreds of problems with high financial risk and on a ti ...
The top skills you need for an AI-driven future
Bloomberg Television· 2025-08-16 09:01
What would your advice be to students that are studying right now in terms of what they should be thinking about studying and what maybe they should avoid as they face up to that future workforce. I think that problem solving is still going to be one of the most important skills which a very that's a very like broad stroke, right. And I actually think you learn problem solving uh in most, you know, uh most types of of education.I'd probably still take a STEM degree. Uh because I think one thing we know is n ...

TEDx Talks· 2025-08-12 14:57
[Music] [Applause] You are not paying attention in school. You are starting to fall behind. These are some of the things my mom mentioned before she decided to take away my video games.I can remember feeling frustrated. I felt like she didn't understand how much I was actually learning from playing video games. I knew that there is no way that my mom was going to buy into this idea.So, I knew that to find evidence to support my thinking about the unorganized skills learned by playing video games. To be clea ...
