Talent Exploration Day (TED) refers to a weekly program where students are given time to independently pursue their passion in spite of a grueling academic schedule. Over the course of the term, students are able to spend about 50-60 hours of time on their topic of interest under the guidance of a facilitator/mentor. Students are free to choose from a variety of subjects, or may submit a proposal to pursue a completely novel topic. TED projects culminate in the form of a presentation or report that is evaluated by the TED committee.
