Would we have houses? Mobile homes? Moon buggies? What kind of food would we eat? Entrepreneur and Axiom astronaut John Shoffner is here to talk to us about what it’s like to live in space for a short time. And he challenges us to participate in the International Space Art and Poetry Contest to share your ideas!
Have you seen those giant wind turbines across the country? Ever wondered what happens to the blades when they have to be replaced? They can be recycled! Take a listen to our guest, Brian Donahue, with Canvus, a company who manufactures furniture out of old wind turbine blades. You may have some of these awesome structures in your community right now. What an awesome combination of STEM, ART, and recycling.
We now know that the universe is vast and filled with billions of stars. But where could we find life? It’s such a big place to search, so why not start with our own solar system. What are we doing to search for life here? Natasha Carr, a PhD candidate studying physics and space science at the University of Leicester, has a lot of thoughts about this. She is sharing them with us today. Don’t miss this excellent out-of-this-world episode!
Humans have live over a year in space, but how long can they live underwater? Not many people can answer that question, but our amazing guest can. Known as Dr. Deep Sea, Dr. Joseph Dituri has spent 100 days living underwater. He is on our show to tell us what it was like and how exciting it was to experience the ocean up close!
How can you get kids excited about STEM? Put it to music! That’s exactly what our guest today has done. Victor Villegas is a Digital and Technology Coordinator for Oregon State University by day and the “DroneSinger” at night! You’ll want to tune in to hear how Victor turns STEM topics in to amazing music and songs. You may even get to hear one performed on the show!
Have you ever wondered how scientists learn about the ocean? They do science at sea! We have Science Communicator Erin Winick Anthony who is currently onboard the Joides Revolution ship as the scientists study cores of the ocean floor to learn about climate change (Jan 2024). This episode includes a fun video on our website so be sure to check that out!
Are you aware that there will be a total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024? This amazing event doesn’t happen very often, so you should really try to see it. But how can you prepare to see one? Dan Schneiderman, Eclipse Partnership Coordinator at the Rochester Museum and Science Center is here to give us tons of tips. Don’t miss this awesome episode or the eclipse!
Welcome to the 8th season of Solve It for Kids! We start our new season off right by exploring some of the tiniest things in the universe… particles you can’t even see. Dr. Katy Grimm, associate professor of physics at Cal State University East Bay and her research is performed at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research that operates the large Hadron Collider. In other words, Dr. Katy is one of the best people to answer our episode topic because she STUDIES some of the smallest things in the universe!
