2017

Robinson has given three TED talks on the importance of creativity in education, viewed over 80 million times (2017). His presentation "Do schools kill creativity?" is the most watched TED talk of all time (2017). In April 2013, he gave a talk titled "How to escape education's death valley", in which he outlines three principles crucial for the human mind to flourish – and how current American education culture works against them. In 2010, the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce animated one of Robinson's speeches about changing education paradigms. The video was viewed nearly half a million times in its first week on YouTube and as of December 2017 has been viewed more than 15 million times.
