Curiosity is one of the most powerful, and fragile, forces in the universe. Following our natural sense of wonder can help us realize that an interesting life doesn’t start with finding the right answer, it starts with finding the right-sized question. To do this, we’ll go to ancient Greece to help us navigate the modern world. Darrick Wood is an international education consultant, who designs student-centered activities and exhibits for schools and museums, most recently in India and Cameroon.

 

Darrick is the host and producer of the interactive radio show/podcast, Inside A Question. It’s a show for people who actively want to figure out themselves, the world, and their place in it. Each episode focuses on a different question, and shows ways to find our own answers through a blend of storytelling, music, and unique experiments.

 

The shows are designed to encourage a lifelong sense of wonder. “Everyone is interested in something,” says Darrick, “whether they know it yet or not.” Inside A Question airs every Sunday, 5-6pm on WXOX 97.1fm.



He believes that curiosity is not for spectators, and invites people of all ages and backgrounds to participate with the curious community through his live events and interactive experiments featured on social media.

  

Darrick Wood is the recipient of the 2018 Hadley Creatives Grant, from the Community Foundation of Louisville, supporting innovative and adventurous artists who are at a pivotal point in their careers. 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
