TEDx Talk: Why I'm Terrified Of Being Normal

This is my TEDx talk from 2022.

Jack talks about his experience of ADHD, Dyslexia and Aphantasia in a delightful and entertaining talk. He wants us to realise that it's the different people who will make a difference in the world - and how we can support them. Jack invented the JackBord, a fun and intuitive way for curious and creative minds to explore electronics, science and robotics. The JackBord educational system is already changing the lives of educators (Personal Learning and Development) and learners from ages 9+of all abilities and demographics, opening up a world of opportunity in science, engineering and robotics.

He was motivated by his need to help others overcome the learning (and teaching) barriers he encountered at school due to his dyslexia and ADHD, and now being experienced by many students of all abilities as the education system often does not provide the resources to teach STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering, Maths), and construction, electronics, coding and robotics, that the JackBord and the accompanying learning and teaching material provides. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
