Teacher Elizabeth Robbins has found that most people underestimate students' capabilities. But once young people have a framework for thinking of themselves as active players in their communities, their nation, or their world, they can achieve much more than we realize. In this talk, she offers a compelling model for upending civics education as we know it and helping students research and take action around issues that affect them.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
