Los errores y cómo dieron forma al mundo | Arjun Singh Patnaik | TEDxKings College School

Esta charla de TEDxKings College School analiza descubrimientos científicos y alimentarios que surgieron de un error, como la penicilina y el polietileno. El ponente se centra en lo que hicieron las personas implicadas después y en por qué algunos accidentes se convierten en descubrimientos mientras otros son tiempo perdido. Arjun Singh Patnaik es alumno de Year 8 en King's College School, Wimbledon.

• Descubrimientos accidentales en ciencia y alimentación, como la penicilina y el polietileno
• Qué hicieron las personas tras un error inesperado
• Por qué algunos accidentes se convierten en descubrimientos

Arjun looks at a series of discoveries in science and in food that began with something going wrong, from penicillin to polyethylene. His interest is in what the people involved did next, and in why an accident becomes a discovery for some and a wasted afternoon for others. Arjun is a Year 8 pupil at King's College School, Wimbledon, who loves Mathematics and Science and is passionate about learning new things. Outside the classroom, he runs a school club with some of his friends. In his free time, he plays squash and cricket, and enjoys reading and the occasional video game. He is also an avid chess player and represents both the school and Surrey at chess. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
