What is the TED organization about?
- It's and organization that wants to spread new, inteligent ideas throughout the world
- They have many interesting ideas about many topics such as entertaimnet, technology, and design

What's the sites purpose?
- The sites sole purpose is to spread ideas by showing videos of proffesionals in the specific fields of work

As Engineers and Problem Solvers, which topic areas are of most interest to us?
- Technology and design are the most interesting to engineers.
- Engineers try to make new designs and will take old designs and make them better
- Technology is a way to help make the designs better

Based on your previous answer, what are 3 videos on the site that appear like they would be of most interest to you as an Engineer/Problem Solver?
a) Ueli Gegenschatz soars in a wingsuit- It deals with trying to make the best suit to try and break world records for flying. He is working towards the human dream of flying.

b) Peter Haas: Haiti's disaster of engineering- It explains why so many buildings collapsed during the earthquake in Haiti. The engineering of their buildings caused most of them to fall.

c) Michael Pawlyn: Using nature's genius in architecture- Animals and plants have amazing designs that aid them in their survival and if we incorporate some of those designs in buildings it could make for better structures.

• Even though Ueli is a stunt man he is also an engineer.
• He is trying to build a wingsuit that will travel the farthest distance ever
• He has to have the perfect equipment and a perfect design or else he could hurt himself when using it.

How could you get involved in the field/technology/issue you chose to hear about? What experience/skills/training/education would you need to learn to get involved with this field?- It might be hard to get involved as a kid because there are so many things that you need to know, but once I get older I wouldn't mind getting involved once I've learned more.

- To get involved you have to know a lot about weather patterns and the dynamics of flying such as angles at which to go and how to incorporate new technology in aiding someone to fly.
