Aryaman begins by citing some of the measurements that would indicate that the American education system is falling behind other countries. He argues that our education system teaches flexibility and creativity, exactly the skills that will be needed for success in the future. He illustrates the talk with examples from his own educational experience. Aryaman Khandelwal is a 17 year old social entrepreneur, optimist, and problem-solver. He is the founder of Get2Greater – a system that allows villagers in rural areas of developing countries to more easily access healthcare. Khandelwal hopes to better the world around him by enabling others to reach their full potential. He also founded SparkXL – a platform for increasing student motivation by showcasing outstanding student work. He believes that education is the inspiration that can create opportunities for students and empower them to make a positive change in their communities. This Fall he was chosen as one of 20 national recipients of the 2017 Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes, given to young people who have done significant work to help others. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
