Chess is the ultimate game of strategy: for centuries, players have been renowned for their intellect and cunning approaches. Ash Reddy hopes to redefine chess as an educational tool to foster emotional intelligence and soft skills in children as young as 2 years old. The next generation of chess players may be equipped with equal measures of strategy and empathy. Ash Reddy is the founder of Chess Mates, a company that teaches chess to children as young as 2 years old. On a mission to redefine how chess is taught and perceived, Ash has grown the presence of his company to now be working in schools, aged care and childcare centres all over South-East Queensland. Instead of focusing on children merely becoming better chess players, Ash’s focus is on using chess as an educational tool to help their emotional intelligence and soft skills. Ash believes there needs to be more of a push for soft skills to be taught within the classroom - including how to cope with adversity and understand your emotional intelligence - and is looking forward to sharing these ideas in his talk. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
