00:00:00.706 --> 00:00:01.706
Right now somewhere,

00:00:01.730 --> 00:00:05.007
an educator is delivering
a mind-altering lesson to their class.

00:00:06.293 --> 00:00:08.270
I want to engage your brains in this.

00:00:08.294 --> 00:00:10.974
Chris Anderson: I tried to picture
how vast our Earth is.

00:00:10.998 --> 00:00:14.053
Logan Smalley: The lesson only reaches
the students in that room.

00:00:14.077 --> 00:00:16.178
What would happen
if we captured that lesson?

00:00:16.202 --> 00:00:17.340
It's a toothed wheel.

00:00:17.364 --> 00:00:20.051
LS: What if pro animators
and visualization artists

00:00:20.075 --> 00:00:21.659
could bring that lesson to life?

00:00:21.683 --> 00:00:24.708
CA: It's a common object
that literally fits one million Earths.

00:00:24.732 --> 00:00:27.311
It's got a bunch of notches
and a bunch of teeth.

00:00:27.335 --> 00:00:28.642
Fizeau's solution...

00:00:28.666 --> 00:00:31.092
LS: When that lesson lands,
curiosity is ignited.

00:00:31.116 --> 00:00:32.506
CA: It seems impossibly big.

00:00:32.531 --> 00:00:36.291
CA: In the great scheme
of things, it's a pinprick.

00:00:36.315 --> 00:00:38.712
Adam Savage: A door closes
on the light beam

00:00:38.736 --> 00:00:40.626
that's coming back to his eye.

00:00:40.650 --> 00:00:43.209
LN: Then that group of students
is one talk closer

00:00:43.233 --> 00:00:46.544
to being what every teacher
hopes their students will become:

00:00:46.568 --> 00:00:47.569
a life-long learner.

00:00:47.593 --> 00:00:50.273
AS: Based on the distance
between the two stations...

00:00:50.297 --> 00:00:53.217
CA: The quest for knowledge
and understanding never gets dull.

00:00:53.241 --> 00:00:57.226
AS: He calculates the speed of light
to within two percent of its actual value.

00:00:57.250 --> 00:01:00.645
CA: The more you know,
the more amazing the world seems.

00:01:00.669 --> 00:01:02.679
That's the central mission of TED-Ed

00:01:02.703 --> 00:01:06.641
to capture and to amplify
the voice of the world greatest teachers.

00:01:06.665 --> 00:01:09.659
He does this in 1849.

00:01:09.683 --> 00:01:12.721
CA: It's the crazy possibilites,
the unanswered questions,

00:01:12.745 --> 00:01:14.146
that pull us forward.

00:01:14.170 --> 00:01:16.781
So stay curious.

00:01:20.211 --> 00:01:23.804
TED-Ed is really an invitation
to teachers all around the world

00:01:23.828 --> 00:01:25.336
to submit their best lessons.

00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:27.994
We review each submission
and we work with the educators

00:01:28.018 --> 00:01:31.760
to refine the lesson and make sure
that they're less than ten minutes long.

00:01:31.784 --> 00:01:34.518
From there, we've got
these portable recording tools.

00:01:34.542 --> 00:01:36.408
A teacher posts their final lesson,

00:01:36.432 --> 00:01:40.371
presses record and can instantly share
with our animation team.

00:01:40.395 --> 00:01:42.820
It's also an invitation to animators.

00:01:42.844 --> 00:01:45.311
We are looking for talented animators

00:01:45.335 --> 00:01:47.269
to get involved, submit their reals

00:01:47.293 --> 00:01:49.939
and help us animate
these incredible lessons.

00:01:50.819 --> 00:01:53.462
Right now, there's a gifted educator
somewhere out there

00:01:53.486 --> 00:01:55.280
delivering a life-changing lesson.

00:01:55.304 --> 00:01:58.475
The TED-Ed team hopes that anyone
who is passionate about education

00:01:58.499 --> 00:02:00.312
will help us find that teacher,

00:02:00.336 --> 00:02:02.659
capture that moment and amplify it

00:02:02.683 --> 00:02:05.013
the way that it deserves to be amplified.
