Place a few colorful candies in water and watch what happens. Does the dye drift slowly outward, like a drop of food coloring? Or does it stream downward in defined rivers of color?

 

How can you create a seamless repeating pattern—one where the edges match up perfectly when tiled—without any digital design software?

 

✨🌈🪐 Remembering Jane Goodall

“What Happened When We All Stopped” is a poem-like story written by Tom Rivett-Carnac. This animation for it, directed by Avi Ofer, was narrated for TED-Ed by conservationist, primatologist, and anthropologist Jane Goodall.

 

Dr. Jane Goodall visits Berkeley's Redwood Grove School to talk with students about conservation, empathy, and making a difference.

 

This 2010 documentary follows Dr. Jane Goodall's groundbreaking research in Tanzania's Gombe Stream National Park, where she observed chimpanzees using tools, displaying complex emotions, and living in intricate social structures.

 

Director Brett Morgen unearthed over 100 hours of previously unseen 16mm film from National Geographic's archives, capturing a young Jane Goodall during her earliest years at Gombe.
