Laura Isaac has chosen to explore the research of Dr. Anders Ericsson and the idea that it takes 10,000 hours of directed practice to become an expert at something. Laura had absolutely no experience with knitting prior to beginning this project in February of 2011. With 10,000 Hours, Laura shares the entire process of her knitting journey. She is opening up every aspect of the project, from thoughts and emotions to straight-forward documentation of her mistakes and accomplishments. Offering herself and her time in the spirit of exploration and discovery; she hopes she can learn about how people pursue goals, acquire skills, and even how people identify themselves.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
