There is no place like home! | Tim Stephenson | TEDxLangleyED

In this talk, a parallel is drawn between two world crisis events, and how society responded. These events are the launch of Sputnik, and the current climate change. Tim notes that to win the space race, we turned to the schools to train up the next great scientists and engineers. And that is just the response needed today to meet the challenges of power production, transportation and renewable energy. Tim Stephenson has been a high school teacher for 24 years. He has his M.Ed. from the University of Portland. His main area of teaching is chemistry, but his main area of study is astronomy and climate science. Tim believes that today’s students are the true agents of change that we need to inform and train to bridge the gap between how we have powered our lives and how we need to power our lives. Tim raises questions in class and then asks the students to dig deeper and find out more. Common class discussions involve alternate sources of energy, climate change, becoming interplanetary, the search for ET life and the history of our understanding of space. Away from school, Tim is married with four kids. He likes to run and hike and has coached hockey for 20 years. Tim loves to be by the ocean. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
