Songwook Lee

Educator/Teacher

I teach English at Incheon Jinsan Science High School, where I work with some of Korea's most talented young scientists. My focus isn't just on language mechanics — it's on how students think, express ideas, and, increasingly, how they ask questions in a world shaped by AI.

Helping students move beyond memorized answers toward genuine curiosity — teaching them not just what to say in English, but what's worth asking in the first place.

As an organizer, I believe the questions we teach young people to ask matter as much as the answers they find — especially in the age of AI. That's why I helped shape this year's TEDx theme, "Art of Asking."

English Education

I'm helping organize a TEDx event at Incheon Jinsan Science High School, where my students take the stage as speakers. This isn't my first time involved with TEDx — I was part of one at a previous school as well — and this new event is what brought me into the TED community.

I'm not exactly a pro gamer, but put me next to my students and I hold my own — surprisingly well, actually.
