TED-Ed team here.

0:00:02.891,0:00:03.999
As you know, we usually post

0:00:03.999,0:00:05.693
animated educator lessons,

0:00:05.693,0:00:07.788
but today we wanted to try something a little different,

0:00:07.788,0:00:10.315
and we need your help to figure out next steps.

0:00:10.315,0:00:12.059
We've recently learned that a large number

0:00:12.059,0:00:13.286
of students that use TED-Ed

0:00:13.286,0:00:15.480
want to know more about career options,

0:00:15.480,0:00:17.311
and that they and the teachers and guidance counselors

0:00:17.311,0:00:18.652
that work with them need better tools

0:00:18.652,0:00:20.042
to make that happen.

0:00:20.042,0:00:21.279
We've been busy trying to design

0:00:21.279,0:00:23.691
an interactive series to meet those needs,

0:00:23.691,0:00:25.085
and today we want to share three videos

0:00:25.085,0:00:27.707
that demo how the series could work.

0:00:27.707,0:00:29.473
Each video features four people

0:00:29.473,0:00:30.730
with four different careers

0:00:30.730,0:00:33.501
reading questions submitted by students.

0:00:33.501,0:00:34.828
The answers to those questions

0:00:34.828,0:00:36.943
and follow-up questions can be explored

0:00:36.943,0:00:40.336
choose-your-own-adventure style through annotations.

0:00:40.336,0:00:41.707
For the purposes of the demo,

0:00:41.707,0:00:43.646
we sourced a few questions from students

0:00:43.646,0:00:45.039
and recruited a few TED speakers

0:00:45.039,0:00:47.240
and other professionals to answer the questions,

0:00:47.240,0:00:49.125
but those two things were done independently

0:00:49.125,0:00:50.050
of one another.

0:00:50.050,0:00:51.311
The idea for the actual series

0:00:51.311,0:00:52.783
is that the next set of videos

0:00:52.783,0:00:54.979
would only feature questions and people

0:00:54.979,0:00:57.645
suggested and voted up by you, the viewers.

0:00:57.645,0:00:58.927
So, if you tell us that the next video

0:00:58.927,0:01:01.145
should undoubtedly feature an arachnologist,

0:01:01.145,0:01:02.478
an album art creator,

0:01:02.478,0:01:03.657
a particle physicist,

0:01:03.657,0:01:04.480
and an engineer,

0:01:04.480,0:01:07.059
all giving away their trade secrets for your benefit,

0:01:07.059,0:01:09.525
we'll try our best to make that happen.

0:01:09.525,0:01:11.332
We think this could be a pretty fun series,

0:01:11.332,0:01:13.505
and we look forward to your feedback.

0:01:13.505,0:01:14.864
Enjoy the demo!

Now for the story of you,

0:02:13.058,0:02:16.271
with women and men in business,

0:02:16.271,0:02:19.101
and I help them get out of their own way

0:02:19.101,0:02:21.689
to get what they want out of their careers

0:02:21.689,0:02:22.875
and out of their lives."
