I just came across this TED talk by University of St. Thomas professor AnneMarie Thomas. I am a huge TED fan and it's exciting to me that a TED speaker is right in my own backyard here in the Twin Cities. Even more exciting is how Professor Thomas challenges the audience to take ordinary kitchen ingredients to help children learn about electricity. In a time where most of us stare at screens all day, the ideas she shares are a welcome break and even better — they're fun! Enjoy.
