Let’s teach our children to problem solve like astronauts | Susan Charlesworth | TEDxBrighton

In this inspiring talk, Susan asks: what if we taught our children to problem-solve like astronauts?Drawing on her experience training astronauts in high-stakes communication and decision-making, Susan reveals the powerful tools used in space to stay calm, think critically, and work as a team under pressure. These aren’t just skills for astronauts — they’re essential for life on Earth too.Through real-world stories and practical insights, Susan explores how we can bring these same approaches into our classrooms and homes, helping young people develop resilience, creativity and collaboration from an early age. This is a call to reimagine education — not just to teach facts, but to nurture the mindset of explorers. Trainer of astronauts and explorers, specialising in human performance and problem-solving under pressure.
