The Algorithm of Love

Ever wondered if love is about luck, effort, or strategy? This fun lesson, based on Amy Webb’s TEDx talk “How I Hacked Online Dating,” lets students explore exactly that—using real-life examples from online dating and the world of algorithms.

Students will:

• Watch and understand an inspiring TEDx talk

• Learn and use new vocabulary about relationships and tech

• Practice critical thinking by analyzing Amy’s approach

• Discuss, debate, and reflect on their own strategies for finding love—or achieving any goal

It’s a lively, thought-provoking lesson that gets students talking, thinking, and even planning their “perfect match” algorithm!
