Mitch Resnick
serves as the head of the Media Arts and Sciences academic program at the MIT
Media Lab
His Talk, titled “Let’s Teach Kids to Code”, Mitch explains thatkids today are familiar with the interactivity of technology,
but not fluent in creating these technologies!
Thesis: help young people become fluent, soThey can write and be creative and express
themselves with these technologies using coding
Mitch captured the audience by
showing how creative kids can be with
coding
Mitch kept the audiences attention with an interactive
game built by code using their voices and participation
Mitch has obeyed all TED Commandments
His passion and curiosity has lead him to
create fun filled learning
programs that teach kids to
code
Mitch produced some laughs, but could have exercised
commandment VIII a little more, adding
more humorous stories in his speech
Dynamism 3.8/5Mitch is very passionate about
his main topic, he is highly educated in his field and he is able to articulate his findings very fluently. Although he is a
leader in his field I felt that Mitch could of brought more humor in his presentation, at
times his delivery felt dry.
Mitch followed Nancy Duarte’s rule 2 by spreading his ideas of what he
was passionate about and moved the audience using is interactive
presentation
He also followed Garr Reynold’s principle of restraint by identifying what is important and
communicating that to the audience.
Even though you have an important topic or idea you may want to spread, getting your audience
engaged interactively is key to getting your message across
Mitch and Ken are very similar in how passionate they are about their topics and how they relay that
passion as data to their audience
One key way these two speaker’s are different, is that Ken Robinson
incorporates a lot of humor and witty banter in his presentations
Tips for my classmates:
Laughter is the best medicine
