Bring Countdown's latest film into your classroom

TED Explores: A New Climate Vision is a 60-minute film focused on ideas explored at the TED Countdown Summit 2023 in Detroit. We collaborated with TED-Ed to create a Facilitator Guide and Lesson videos to equip educators with activities to do with their students. Each of the seven film chapters focus on a specific content area to explore and have their own TED-Ed lesson, quiz questions, discussion questions and connected resources so students gain more deep understanding and explore action steps they can take.
