Asking questions is essential to learning and living well; yet data from U.S. school systems indicates that most students turn off their questions in classrooms long before they finish high school. In this TEDxYouth TALK, Hal Gregersen will share how adults and youth alike can build the capacity to ask the right question in order to navigate the complexities and challenges of today's world. By rekindling our capacity to question, we will have the power to improve our global society -- both now and well into the future.

ABOUT TEDx:
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)
