The Skill Behind Every Skill | Issac Updike | TEDxBoggess Elementary School

What if every new skill you learn makes the next one easier? Combining science and personal stories, this talk explores how curiosity, exploration, and diverse experiences help us build the most important skill of all: learning how to learn. Hi, my name is Isaac! I'm a high school student at Plano East, varsity cross country captain and choir member. In my speech, I talk about how learning new skills actually makes it easier to pick up even more skills down the road, so instead of specializing early, you should stay curious and try as many new things as possible. That's exactly what I did, and it paid off in ways I never expected! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
