Raising Good Gamers: Ted-Ed Student Talks Program

Description:

In 2020-2021, RGG joined forces with TED-Ed to offer 30 high school students an opportunity to participate in the TED-Ed Student Talks program. Our goal was to empower young people to share their stories on video game culture and highlight the pro-social elements that occur online and in a video game. The five finalists showcased in this session, were chosen to receive coaching from the TED-Ed team. Check out these youth voices and emerging leaders!
