ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Ignite (event)

Okay kiddo, so imagine you have a really cool idea for something you want to create, like a painting or a robot or a dance routine. But you're not sure where to start or how to make it happen. That's where Ignite comes in!

Ignite is an event where lots of grown-ups get together to share their ideas with each other in short talks that are only a few minutes long. It's like a big talent show for cool ideas!

At Ignite, people stand up in front of everyone and talk about what they're passionate about. They might talk about something they invented, a social issue they care about or just a funny story they want to share.

But here's the catch: they only have five minutes to do it! That's not a lot of time, so they have to be really careful about what they say and how they say it. They might use pictures, music or videos to help explain their idea and keep the audience interested.

After all the talks are over, people in the audience can talk to the speakers and ask them more questions about their ideas. It's a great way to learn about new things and meet cool people who care about the same things you do.

So that's Ignite in a nutshell, kiddo. It's a fun event where grown-ups share their ideas and inspire each other to create amazing things. Who knows, maybe you'll be a speaker at an Ignite event someday!
