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.
