Les erreurs et la façon dont elles ont façonné le monde | Arjun Singh Patnaik | TEDxKings College School

Cette conférence TEDxKings College School présente des découvertes scientifiques et alimentaires nées d'un accident, comme la pénicilline et le polyéthylène. L'intervenant s'intéresse à ce que les personnes concernées ont fait ensuite, et à la raison pour laquelle certains accidents deviennent des découvertes tandis que d'autres restent sans suite. Arjun Singh Patnaik est élève en Year 8 à King's College School, Wimbledon.

• Découvertes accidentelles en science et en alimentation, dont la pénicilline et le polyéthylène
• Ce que les gens ont fait après une erreur imprévue
• Pourquoi certains accidents deviennent des découvertes

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
