Last year, Tyler Dewitt, a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology gave an inspiring talk at Tedx Beacon Street, recently made available online.

In short, Tyler believes scientists should present science as a “story.”  He suggests that there would be benefits to be had by moving away from the dry textbook-style learning and toward making science more fun and interactive for all students.

Tyler supports STEM education through his involvement with MIT’s K12 video initiative and his own YouTube channel.
