Podcast – ExpeditionSTEM
Summary: Expedition STEM is a new podcast to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math - or STEM for short. Each Week, we'll share our favorite stories in STEM news, the latest tech gadgets or projects on our workbench, and the occasional guest to talk about their creations. Why STEM? Really, we're a couple of nerds who want to see it become a central part of our culture. Moreover, we want to see people get excited about the topics, people and companies that are pushing the state of innovation worldwide. Without STEM there would be no Siri or Call of Duty. Without names like Buzz Aldrin, Sally Ride, or Gene Roddenbury we'd fail to reach the stars, or keep doing so with SpaceX. And, it was Isaac Asimov that predicted how we would talk to machines, over 70 years ago. Did you know that a students discovered the mathematical formula for a perfect pancake? Or that there are buildings that actually eat smog? There's a whole world of exciting discoveries and innovations that all start with STEM. Thanks for tuning in and we hope you enjoy the show.
