Why Do We Play? | Join Us LIVE on Thursday, May 14 for Play@TED

TED, the LEGO Group and the LEGO Foundation bring you Play@TED, a partnership to drive a movement and change how people of all ages think about play. Together, we’ll highlight how creative play can be a game-changer in the world and lead to brighter minds, braver ideas and a more imaginative future for everyone.​ On Thursday, May 14 at 11am ET, join us on YouTube to experience the Play@TED event, LIVE from the TED Theater in New York City. Curated by TED and aimed at parents, educators and policy makers, the event will feature inspiring TED Talks from leading experts on the role and impact of creative play. The day will be centered around three key pillars: the transformative power of play, play as a mindset for all and how imagination can take us anywhere. Confirmed speakers include Katina Bajaj, a creative health scientist and cofounder of Daydreamers; Randi Williams, AI and education researcher at Day of AI and MIT RAISE; Maxwell “Hops” Pearce, a Harlem Globetrotter, athlete and artist; and Eric Zimmerman, game designer.
