December 11, 2024: Kahoot!, the global learning and engagement platform company, today announced a new partnership with TED, the nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to discovering, debating, and spreading ideas. Through this collaboration, TED’s powerful ideas will come to life on Kahoot!’s globally loved learning platform, creating a unique synergy that amplifies impact and drives lasting change.
To kick off this collaboration, TED’s education and youth initiative TED-Ed has joined forces with Kahoot!. Together, they have launched free learning content designed to inspire and empower educators, parents, and students with immersive and engaging experiences. With over 8 million educators and millions of students worldwide using Kahoot! for learning and engagement that boosts academic performance, this partnership offers a new way to explore and celebrate innovative ideas on a global scale.
“To navigate and thrive in our rapidly changing world, future-ready learning has become more important than ever, for learners of all ages,” said Eilert Hanoa, CEO of Kahoot!. “This partnership between Kahoot! and TED brings together two powerhouses of knowledge sharing, connecting learners worldwide with ideas, insights, and skills to not only adapt to but create lasting change in the 21st century.”
“When students are curious, the possibilities are limitless,” said TED-Ed’s Founder, Logan Smalley. “By combining TED-Ed Animations with Kahoot!’s interactive platform, we’re equipping today’s students, teachers, and lifelong learners with tools to explore, question, and grow—ensuring that the best ideas of today empower changemakers both now and in the future.”
Igniting students’ curiosity in the classroom and beyond
Teachers and students can now discover innovative learning content on Kahoot! from TED-Ed, an initiative serving millions of teachers and students around the world each week. TED-Ed’s Kahoot! content invites learners to explore thought-provoking ideas in subjects including history, science, how the human body works, and more. Within each Kahoot! experience, students can get inspired and learn with one of TED-Ed’s popular Animations—short, award-winning animated videos about ideas that spark curiosity. These original animated videos are developed by leading experts, including TED Speakers, TED Fellows, as well as educators, designers, animators, screenwriters, directors, science writers, historians, journalists, and editors. By combining TED-Ed’s Animations with the interactivity of Kahoot!, these educational resources create engaging and immersive experiences that bring learning to life.
TED-Ed’s learning content on Kahoot! is available for free, and can be used in classroom lessons, self-study at home, or learning on the go. With TED-Ed’s playful and student-centered Kahoot! content, educators, and parents can inspire learners to get curious, grow their knowledge, and nurture their world-changing ideas.
More to come!
This initial launch marks just the beginning of the TED and Kahoot! partnership. In 2025, they will be expanding into new areas and age groups, making it an exciting year for lifelong learners around the world. Stay tuned!

About TED
TED is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to discovering, debating and spreading ideas that spark conversation, deepen understanding and drive meaningful change. Our organization is devoted to curiosity, reason, wonder and the pursuit of knowledge — without an agenda. We welcome people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world and connection with others, and we invite everyone to engage with ideas and activate them in your community.
TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment, and Design converged, but today it spans a multitude of worldwide communities and initiatives exploring everything from science and business to education, arts, and global issues. In addition to the TED Talks curated from our annual conferences and published on TED.com, we produce original podcasts, short video series, animated educational lessons (TED-Ed), and TV programs that are translated into more than 100 languages and distributed via partnerships around the world. Each year, thousands of independently run TEDx events bring people together to share ideas and bridge divides in communities on every continent. Through the Audacious Project, TED has helped catalyze more than $3 billion in funding for projects that seek to make the world more beautiful, sustainable and just. In 2020, TED launched Countdown, an initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis and mobilize a movement for a net-zero future, and in 2023 TED launched TED Democracy to spark a new kind of conversation focused on realistic pathways towards a more vibrant and equitable future.
