Trivia question: What does TED stand for?
Answer: TED, the world-renowned conferences held across the globe, is an acronym for Technology, Entertainment, and Design. But really, TED stands for inspiration and the power of ideas.
Today, we at CodeSignal couldn’t be more excited to partner with TED@Work to bring some of the world’s most powerful ideas to life through experiential learning.
This new collaboration fuses TED’s inspirational thought leadership with CodeSignal’s AI-native skills platform, allowing users to practice and master the skills described in some of the most popular TED Talks.

Transforming inspiration into action
The initiative kicks off with a curated collection of experiential learning experiences built around TED Talks from leading voices. After watching the talks, learners dive into active, scenario-based practice using CodeSignal’s learning platform—role-playing with AI personas, writing reflections, and getting real-time feedback from Cosmo, our AI tutor.
By transforming passive viewing into active doing, learners don’t just remember concepts—they master them.
“An idea reaches its full potential when it’s put into action. We’re excited to see CodeSignal bring TED Talks to life through immersive, hands-on learning that turns inspiration into real-world skills.”
Darby Coleman, Senior Director at TED@Work
