Program Reviews

I've loved this program so much and it was a different and a very special experience! I've learned so much through the activities that tackle different themes regarding worldwide issues we face, it's given me a new perspective and challenged me to think in new ways and brainstorm ideas to propose solutions for each problem it presented, taught me the way of implementing my knowledge in STEM while also adding my own touch of creativity. It also gave me a new understanding of other cultures and lifestyles of other people, in my own country and abroad, and it left me curious for wanting to know more about others. and i had fun meeting some amazing people through the chats and live meetings, exchanging ideas and playing games to connect with each other! And iam grateful for the awsome journey I've had on this program, and the energy and inspiration it gave me to be a more active member in my community :)

This program was a heck of a ride and it deserves all the good ratings it could get.I learned a lot of stuff about STEM,SDGs and the scientific method and it was all full of fun and engagement.The activities were really good and i spent every week doing them without feeling cramped on time or anxious about anything.The people were really nice and i never once felt left out.I also got to meet a lot of amazing people and i made frineds with some of them as well.I would definitely recommend this program and i think that anyone would enjoy it a lot.

It was so fun learning about different cultures and interacting! The content was fun to learn and helped me develop skills. The most amazing part had to be the zoom meetings where we would meet and talk together, I just wish there was more of that. Each week we had asynchronous activities that were not hard but definitely eye oppening. We also had mini experiments which were easy and really did affect me as a person. For example; we had an experiment where we had to collect our trash in a jar. This really encouraged me to pay more attention to my trash.

This program is very nice, beginning from its sessions that discuss grand challenges of the world as public health and pollution, moving to the discussion of those topics where we all discuss what we learned and how can we make a solution to the problem. Not only this but also there were the hangouts that we made aside from the sessions of the program, such as playing games together or talking about some stuff. Despite all of this, the thing that made me love the program the most is its community, the community is very friendly that even the shy person can make friends with all of them, in a week I knew about 5 of my neighborhood,
even if you decide not to make any friends, the facilitators of the program will make you interact with other people from the program and make friends with them.
My final rate for the program is 10/10

The Experiment Digital is an adventure presented to students who are courageous enough to leap into the unknown fields of STEAM. As a student concurrently enrolled in a science and research-based magnet school, I enjoyed the challenges and collaboration opportunities presented during the program. I love how The Experiment Digital not only focuses on academic growth, but also constructs a gateway to different lifestyles and cultures. The program’s many aspects fostered critical thinking, concise communication, and problem-solving on important concepts that will positively impact me forever. I met so many amazing, inspiring people that I will never forget!

The Experiment Digital was an unforgettable experience. Not only was I in contact with people around the globe, but I also made some friends. I learned a lot about their culture, some language phrases, traditions, and specific dishes. I got to view challenges and difficulties in people’s countries/communities. My peers and I came up with ways to solve these challenges through critical thinking and guidance from the modules. I even got the chance to have a virtual Homestay. I had two partners and we learned a lot from each other. Overall, this was a great experience.

This program was very fun and informative. I got to meet new people and make friends, and have fun with other people from different places while learning about very important topics in fun way. We enjoyed fun chats and activities. I discovered a lot of things that I never knew of. This program also helped me develop self confidence and it also helped me discover the importance of very serious issues and how we should change them to make the world a better place. I 100% would recommend this to people who are willing to experience something new and different.

Participating in this program was an extraordinary experiment. In addition to knowing new things, I made new friends. This program wasn't just for STEAM, it was more than that. The Experiment Digital is an experiment that I would like to repeat again. If I had the choice to participate again, I would not histate and I will be happy to repeat it again. One of my best decisions I've ever made is to participate. I learned new things and I had fun. So I can confirm that being a part of TED is more than you imagine.

Hi I'm Afnan, I applied in The Experiment program in 2021 ~ the program was REALLLLY GOOD, I learned alot of new stuff about the environment, puplic health and more! And it really motivated me to focus on the pollution issue, they made me a new goal! Help the environment!! And not just that, but I met awesome people from USA, and Egypt, innovative people, who love to learn! I'm so glad I've been a part of this program, this program really gave me a wide perspective to this world, not just in environment but people, culture and more! ^^

TED completely changed me as a person. Not only did I learn valuable information about different cultures, leadership, and many other life lessons, I also got to express my thoughts and ideas through the program, and other participants were supportive, so I gained a confidence that I didn’t know I could have. I also gained some new friends from different backgrounds who are all amazing people with different ideas that will change our communities for better. I’m very glad I was part of this program.
