Learning Beyond the Walls | AGNIV VINOTH | TEDxAnuragU
What if school didn’t have walls? What if curiosity led the curriculum? In this heartwarming and eye-opening talk, 6-year-old Agniv Vinoth-one of India’s youngest video creators and open-schoolers shares his extraordinary learning journey. From handling real kitchen tools at age two to launching his own digital channel at four, Agniv invites us to rethink education through a child’s eyes. With a natural storyteller’s charm and wisdom beyond his years, he challenges conventional schooling, celebrates the power of questioning, and highlights how learning can happen anywhere be it in kitchens, gardens, museums, or conversations. More than a story of homeschooling, this is a call to parents, teachers, and society to foster environments where children feel safe, heard, and free to explore. Agniv’s journey reminds us that the future of education isn’t somewhere ahead-it’s already unfolding, beyond the walls.
Agniv is a bright, curious, and creative child breaking traditional learning barriers.
As an open-schooler, he explores beyond textbooks, following his passions at his own pace. Fluent in Tulu and Tamil at just 6, he’s also learning English and Kannada. His love for rockets, robots, and speed led him to start his own channel at 4, sharing his world with joy. Through his child-driven journey, he inspires others to embrace curiosity and unconventional learning.

- 11:42Uniformity is Overrated: Speak Up | Jovann Loh | TEDxBencoolen St YouthHistory’s greatest minds weren’t celebrated for blending in. They shattered consensus. Yet today, we rebuild the cages they fought to break, mistaking ideological purity for true diversity. The speaker seeks to contend that a world without disagreement is a world without growth. Jovann is a JC2 student at Eunoia Junior College, which means they’ve mastered the art of looking busy while procrastinating and surviving on dangerously little sleep. They have no fancy accolades, no groundbreaking research to their name, but they do have an unfortunate habit of going down ideological rabbit holes instead of doing actual work.Between cramming for exams and questioning their life choices, they’ve noticed something odd: everyone seems to think they’re the hero of history. Every ideology claims to champion freedom, justice, or equality precisely until you disagree with them. This talk isn’t about giving you the “right” answers (if they had those, they’d be much richer), but it might make you question just how much of what you believe is actually yours, and how much is just borrowed from the loudest voices around you.And if nothing else, at least it’ll be more interesting than another GP lecture.
