Superhero training: what you can do right now

16-year-old Darlene Gitta Hamida is a huge superhero fan. She loves Batman and Superman, and her room even has pictures of them taped on the walls. But when a suicide bomber attacked her hometown of Jakarta, Indonesia, Darlene began to reconsider what it takes to be a hero. In this inspiring Talk, Darlene explores how small acts of kindness are what real heroes are made of, and she proposes ways that we might begin our very own hero-training.

This Talk was given at TED-Ed Weekend in New York City.

The TED-Ed Clubs program supports students in discovering, exploring and presenting their big ideas in the form of short, TED-style talks. In TED-Ed Clubs, students work together to discuss and celebrate creative ideas. Club Leaders receive TED-Ed’s flexible curriculum to guide their Members in developing presentation literacy skills to help inspire tomorrow’s TED speakers and future leaders.
