🎤 TED Talk Teaser Day

Students watch 2–3 short TED Talk excerpts connected to economic themes (e.g., global supply chains, market competition, behavioral economics). After each clip, they identify examples of scarcity (land, labor, capital), market structure, government policy, business cycle influences, and globalization. The class debrief centers on the essential question: What economic forces drive the world around us? Students generate a shortlist of 2–3 potential "Economics Of..." topics they are curious to explore through real user stories.
