Logan Smalley: Right now somewhere out there,
there's an educator delivering a mind-altering lesson to their class.
Adam Savage: I want to engage your brains in this.
Chris Anderson: I tried to get my head around how vast our Earth is.
LS: But that lesson only reaches the students in that room.
What would happen if we could capture that lesson?
AS: This is a toothed wheel.
LS: What if pro animators and visualization artists
could bring that lesson to life?
CA: It's an object we see everyday that would literally fit one million Earths.
AS: It's got a bunch of notches, and it's got a bunch of teeth.
This was Fizeau's solution.
LS: When that lesson lands, curiosity is ignited.
CA: It seems impossibly big.
AS: Something interesting happens.
CA: In the great scheme of things, it's just a pinprick.
AS: A door is starting to close on the light beam
that's coming back to his eye.
LN: Then that group of students is one thought closer
to being what every teacher hopes their students will become:
a life-long learner.
AS: Based on the distance between the two stations...
CA: The quest for knowledge and understanding never gets dull.
It doesn't.
AS: He calculates the speed of light to within two percent of its actual value.
CA: The more you know, the more amazing the world seems.
LS: That's the central mission of TED-Ed:
to capture and to amplify the voice of the world greatest teachers.
AS: He does this in 1849.
CA: It's the crazy possibilities, the unanswered questions,
that pull us forward.
So stay curious.
Stephanie Lo: TED-Ed is really an invitation
to teachers all around the world to submit their best lessons.
Jordan Reeves: We review each submission, and we work with the educators
to refine the lesson and make sure that they're less than ten minutes long.
Bedirhan Cinar: From there, we mail out these portable recording tools.
A teacher pulls up their final lesson,
presses record and then can instantly share it with our animation team.
SL: It's also an invitation to animators.
We are looking for talented animators
to get involved, submit their reels
and help us animate these incredible lessons.
LS: Right now, there's a gifted educator somewhere out there
delivering a life-changing lesson.
The TED-Ed team hopes that anyone who is passionate about education
will help us find that teacher,
capture that moment and amplify it,
the way that it deserves to be amplified.
