👁An architect's subversive reimagining of the US-Mexico border wall
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English

👣What is a border? It's a line on a map, a place where cultures mix and merge in beautiful, sometimes violent and occasionally ridiculous ways. And a border wall? An overly simplistic response to that complexity, says architect Ronald Rael. In a moving, visual talk, Rael reimagines the physical barrier that divides the United States and Mexico -- sharing satirical, serious works of art inspired by the borderlands and showing us the border we don't see in the news. \"There are not two sides defined by a wall. This is one landscape, divided,\" Rael says.

👁How small are we in the scale of the universe? - Alex Hofeldt

🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish
👣In 1995, scientists pointed the Hubble Telescope at an area of the sky near the Big Dipper.

But what came back was nothing short of spectacular: an image of over 1,500 galaxies glimmering in a tiny sliver of the universe. Alex Hofeldt helps us understand the scale of this image.

👁Creative ways to get kids to thrive in school

In this practical talk, she shares creative tactics she used to help struggling, sometimes disruptive students -- things like stopping for brain breaks, singing songs and even doing yoga poses -- all with her existing budget and resources. \"Small changes make huge differences, and it's possible to start right now ... You simply need smarter ways to think about using what you have, where you have it,\" she says.
