Putting a TED talk under the microscope (Sugata Mitra)

June 30, 2022 • Andrew Thorp • Season 1 • Episode 33

There are umpteen books about how to give a great TED talk but in this episode we put the spotlight on one specific talk, a wonderful presentation from 2013 by Professor Sugata Mitra entitled: Build a School in the Cloud. It's a favourite of our host Andrew Thorp and this is his take on what enabled the professor to wow his audience that day.

We also feature a guest podcast - Storytelling with Puck by Stefano Capacchione.
