Teens Worth Watching

Yawn. A dreary winter day? Everything seems like the same-old, same-old, you have too much work to do and spring break is far away? Looking to get re-energized and wondering how to do and be more? This post should help! We have collected Ted and TedX talks by some teens worth watching. They will give a metaphorical caffeine-jolt to your system and make you think “Wow! Maybe I can do something like that” – even if you’re not a teen.

Grab some popcorn and learn something new from these can-do kids!
