But what does a good education actually look like in a rapidly changing world?

Is the schooling my daughters get preparing them in the ways they need?

In today's talk, education innovator Alon Samoa takes us on a journey from Brooklyn to Washington, D.C.

to rural North Dakota, giving us a glimpse of a movement that's rethinking every aspect of learning through community-based design, transforming classrooms into places where all young people feel seen, engaged, and ready to build the world ahead.

That was Alon Samoa speaking at TED Next 2025.
