) What is the TED organization about?
TED is a website that you can look a people getting interviewed and see new things that are being created and new things that have been discovered.

2) What is the purpose of their website and how does the functionality of their site support that?
The purpose of the website is too inform people what is new and see things happening in our world.

3) As Engineers and Problem Solvers, which topic areas (the choices from the "Show talks related to:" section on the sidebar) are of most interest to us? Justify your answer.
The section that a Engineer woud look at is technology, design, science, adn global issues because in these sections things are being designed and new things are being created like solar powered airplanes.

4) Based on your previous answer, what are 3 talks (videos) on the site that appear like they would be of most interest to you as an Engineer/Problem Solver? Justify your choices.
Three videos that seemed interesting were solar powered plane because a new thing is being designedd and can be advanced later in the future.

5) Each student will watch a unique video. Claim your video on the following period specific posts: 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th. If no one else has claimed your video, leave a comment on that post to call the one you want. If someone else has already claimed the talk, go back and pick another one. Watch the video. Embed the video in your blog post and create a bulletized outline of the key issues presented in the talk.
The video I claim is Betrand Piccard's solar powered adventure becuase a new plane is being designed to save enrgy.

6) How could you get involved in the field/technology/issue you chose to hear about? What experience/skills/training/education would you need to learn to get involved with this field?
I could get involveved by saving as much energy as I can by using more solar powered things  like lights.
