LinkTeen Conversations

Questions teens
rarely get to ask

Teen-led interviews with experts, leaders, and innovators across every field. Not a webinar. Not a lecture. A real conversation — researched, conducted, and written up by a LinkTeen member.

Every conversation follows this structure

The format

01
The Conversation

A teen member interviews an expert in their chosen field. The teen researches the subject, writes the questions, and conducts the interview.

02
Teen Takeaways

The interviewer writes five things they learned — in plain language that other teenagers can actually use.

03
Go Deeper

Three resources recommended by the expert — papers, videos, or books for members who want to explore further.

04
Explore

What should a high schooler interested in this field study, read, or do? Practical guidance from someone doing it.

05
Now What?

A project, discussion question, or action members can take based on what they learned. The interview creates activity, not just content.

Why this matters: The interview doesn't end with “Thank you for your time.” It ends with Now what? — a project, a discussion, or an action that turns the conversation into something the community can build on.

Any field, any expert

Open to every industry

A LinkTeen Conversation can be about any field. The only requirement is that the interviewer brings genuine curiosity and rigorous preparation.

Editorial standards for conversations
📋
Research before you interview
Read two credible sources on the topic before writing a single question. Surface-level questions produce surface-level answers.
Fact-check what you publish
Every factual claim in your write-up must be verifiable. Cite your sources. Link to primary materials.
🎯
Ask what students actually need
Your questions should help other teenagers — not impress the expert. Ask what you genuinely don't understand.
⚖️
No endorsements or advice
For fields like health, law, or finance — interviews are educational only. No personal advice, no recommendations.
