An inspiring talk by Dale Dougherty who founded MAKE magazine and created the world's largest DIY festival, Maker Faire.
On the TED website this talk led to the discussion topic "Are Educational Institutions responding to the challenges of teaching and learning in the 21st Century?"
"The Digital Age offers all sorts of opportunities for learners ranging from the formal to the informal, from the Web to the classroom and the studio. Why do educational institutions continue to rely on traditional models of learning? Why have schedules, disciplines and departments remained the same as in the 20th Century? Why has the architecture of schools changed so little? How have learners changed?"
