Great Experience

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.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I am surprised at how astonishing talented some people are. I got the chance to see two of my peers sing, and one even solved a Rubix cube in under a minute.

The Best Time Ever!

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.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Make sure to have fun and enjoy your time while it lasts.

what an experience!

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.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
I would advise them to share their thoughts freely, not to be shy, and take advantage of the opportunity of participating in this program.

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! ^^

What was your funniest moment?

An unforgettable experience

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.

What would you improve about this program?
If there was one thing I could improve about TED, it would be the number of family dialogues. I feel like those four times were not enough for us as participants to get to know each other well enough and be able to discuss our ideas together.

Best experience ever

This summer I had one of the best moments in my life with TED ,I got to talk with people around the world who were as motivated I am. I learned many new things and I got to improve my leadership and communication skills.I learned how to plan and make a project real. This programme motivated me and inspired me to take the lead and make a change in my community. And I think what made this programme unique is the way they teach us new concepts without making it boring. So I would definitly recommend this programme to other youth.

What was your funniest moment?
When we were taking the last family picture even though it was sad but the last family dialogue was a happy experience

The best summer ever

This summer that I spent along with TED was one of the most productive holidays I ever had, I've learned a lot about leadership, civic engagement, communication skills. All the skills that I wouldn't normally be able to learn without this experiment, and this fact inspired me very much for my future activities in my communities, it made me strive for a change. I won't wait for this change, I will make it, this is what I had in mind after finishing this program. So yes I would definitely recommend this program for every young person out there, dreaming of a better future . Don't wait for it, be the change, and make your first step with TED just like I did.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would give it my all, and be even more motivated.

Good program!

The program was really helpful, there was a lot of interaction and opportunities to learn about how to view and respond to issues in your community, as well as how to be a good communicator, and how to plan a community initiative. I had a great time talking with students. The teachers and moderators were very helpful. All around there were great people and when we had differences they were peacefully resolved. I also got to learn about other cultures and customs from MENA (Middle East North Africa).

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
We had a fun meeting over zoom! It was entertaining and refreshing.

TED 2020

Participating in TED was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It was an incredible journey, I learned lots of interesting thing and I also improved my leadership and communication skills. One thing that I loved the most was our family dialogues, we talked about lots of interesting things. I wish that the program could last longer, I enjoyed every second of the program. If u want to meet new people and share your ideas with them TED is the best virtual program for you. Thank you TED for everything!

The Best Ever

As an Alumni, the experiment digital is one of the best exchange programs ever, I got a lot from it
First of all, When i got started the program I faced some difficulties and it's normal everyone who practices a new thing he is going to face difficulties, but in TED I got a peer mentor and also a Facilitator, they are one of the best people I know in my life, when I got an issue in any activity or directly I was going to them
Secondly, in TED I had the chance to gain the most important skills which can help me in my life to be a successful leader such as :
Leadership, Critical Thinking, become an innovative designer, creative communicator, resourceful changemaker ......etc
finally, the best part is you are going to meet people from several countries and different backgrounds and this gonna help you to be creative in your perspective as well as your creativity in your projects and also you life
