Jonathan Matte has been teaching
Mathematics for 20 years, the last 13 at Greens Farms Academy. Formerly the
Mathematics Department Chair, he is currently the 12th Grade Dean and Coach of
the GFA Math Team and the CT State Champion Quiz Team. A former Jeopardy!
contestant, Jon's outside-of-the classroom passions lie in the world of puzzles
and games, both as a competitor (in the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament
and the World Puzzle Championships, among others) and a creator (orchestrating
the long-running GFA Puzzle Hunt and crafting puzzles that have made their way
into GAMES Magazine). In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program
of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like
experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark
deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized
events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED
Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx
events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Whacky colour changes, magic
disappearing water, blowing up dustbins, clouds of steam, thunder air
explosions. Are you ready to fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ‘explosive’
journey? In his talk, Andrew aims to promote chemistry as the science of
remarkable changes, which are often overlooked yet so important in our everyday
life. And he does it brilliantly by performing an incredible series of 25
experiments in 15 minutes, totally amazing the audience (who rewards him with a
long and deserved standing ovation)! Andrew Z. Szydło
is an internationally acclaimed chemistry teacher. But he’s definitely not the
typical chemistry teacher you would expect… He holds a PhD in the History and
Philosophy of Science from UCL, and is an expert on the history of alchemy (his
1994 book ‘Water Which Does Not Wet Hands’ is considered to be the standard
reference work on the Polish alchemist Michael Sendivogius.) But his polymath
spirit extends further: he’s a violin, bugle and accordion player, as well as a
professional photographer. Throughout the years Andrew has wowed audiences all
around the world with his pyrotechnical approach to teaching and demonstrating
chemical sciences on stage and has appeared many times on TV. This talk was given
at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by
a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Would

Why, then, do we rush students through education when they haven't always
grasped the basics? Yes, it's complicated, but educator Sal Khan shares his
plan to turn struggling students into scholars by helping them master concepts
at their own pace. TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and
performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and
doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on
Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues,
the arts and much more. Find closed captions and translated subtitles in many

This
talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED
Conferences. Engineering professor Barbara Oakley is co-teaching one of the
world's largest online classes, "Learning How to Learn", https://www.coursera.org/course/learning
. She
know firsthand how it feels to struggle with math. Dr. Oakley flunked her way
through high school math and science courses, before enlisting in the U.S. Army
immediately after graduation. When she saw how her lack of mathematical and
technical savvy severely limited her options—both to rise in the military and
to explore other careers—she returned to school with a new found determination
to re-tool her brain to master the very subjects that had given her so much
trouble throughout her entire life. Barbara Oakley, PhD, PE is a professor of
engineering at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. Her research focuses
on the complex relationship between neuroscience and social behavior, and has
been described as “revolutionary” by the Wall Street Journal. Oakley’s books
have been praised by many leading researchers and writers, including Harvard’s
Steven Pinker and E. O. Wilson, and National Book Award winner Joyce Carol
Oates. Her book A Mind for Numbers: How to Excel in Math and Science (Even If
You Flunked Algebra), will be published by Tarcher-Penguin on July 31, 2014.
Prior to her academic career, Oakley rose from private to captain in the U.S.
Army, during which time she was recognized as a Distinguished Military Scholar.
She met her husband, Philip, when she was working at the South Pole Station in
Antarctica. Her experiences with well-intentioned altruism were shaped by her
work as a Russian translator on Soviet trawlers on the Bering Sea during the
early 1980s. Oakley was designated as an NSF New Century Scholar—she is also a
recipient of the Oakland University Teaching Excellence Award (2013) and the
National Science Foundation’s Frontiers in Engineering New Faculty Fellow
Award. Oakley is an elected Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and
Biological Engineering. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the
