Hi everybody! After publishing today's video ("The myth of Icarus and Daedalus") we'd love to hear what some of your favorite myths from any culture around the world are. Especially the ones you'd like to see us animate some day :)

Hey TED-Ed friends, could you give us some quick feedback? https://goo.gl/forms/FfnwluiMtnYhxUvh1 As you may (or may not) know, TED-Ed is a non-profit. We receive funding from many different sources, including grants and partners, to ensure that our videos will always remain free. In order to reach more students and teachers around the world, we're exploring crowdfunding as an option. This would help us expand our mission to celebrate the ideas of teachers and students -- plus there will be some cool perks for you, too. Please help us gauge your interest by taking 3 minutes to fill out this super simple survey. We look forward to hearing your thoughts! https://goo.gl/forms/FfnwluiMtnYhxUvh1
