    Ep. 318 | AI Powered Recycled Robots | feat. Tamir Nave

    What if a robot for kids was more than just a robot out of a box? mAIk Robotics uses AI together with a camera to be a platform for kids to design their own recycled robot. Using mAIk, you can write code to create machine learning models for image recognition and robot control, but you can also do all of this using natural-language prompts, with no prior background or complex technical skills. This makes advanced robotics projects accessible to the general public. Anyone can create a living, interactive world from recycled materials. Tamir Nave, an Electrical Engineer from Israel, created mAIk so that kids can be creative while learning AI and robotics. Their low-cost, DIY robots are simple to start, and they provide numerous tutorials and help for any level of educator or parent who knows that those skills are important for kids to learn.

    Ep. 317 | Summer Science Program | feat. Amy Kim

    It’s no secret that students’ interest in STEM keeps growing. With an overwhelming number of different fields to pursue and growing opportunities for high schoolers, where do they start? Summer Science Program International (SSPI) helps students develop a deeper love for STEM and research through SSPI’s immersive, rigorous, and collaborative summer program. SSP is a highly competitive (10,000 applicants for about 700 spots this year) 60-year old STEM program (Summer Science Program) that empowers students to follow their passions and more importantly gives them the opportunity to participate in rote experiments and gain hands-on experience, vs. being taught about STEM.  Key program study topics include astrophysics, bacterial genomics, biochemistry and cell biology. These flagship summer programs are a rigorous five-week residential summer research experience designed for highly motivated high school juniors. Participants engage in advanced research in astrophysics, biochemistry, bacterial genomics, and synthetic chemistry while living on a college campus. Summer Science Program has offered participants “the educational experience of a lifetime” for over 66 years, and program alumni have gone on to leading positions in industry, business, innovation, and more. Amy Hee Kim joined SSP International in 2025 as the Chief Program Officer, bringing 15 years in STEM fields as well as her background as a physical chemist (PhD from University of Chicago). Before joining SSPI, Amy served as the Executive Director of EnCorps helping STEM professionals become teachers in under-resourced community schools.

    Ep. 316 | Project Lead the Way | feat. Katie Minihan

    Katie Minihan, Chief Impact Officer of Project Lead The Way (PLTW), shares why engagement might be the missing metric in education and how students who solve real-world problems through hands-on, collaborative learning see stronger attendance, achievement, and long-term outcomes. School and district leaders need a solution that cultivates confidence and career readiness for kids from elementary to high school. As a nonprofit organization founded by educators and driven by education leaders, they've spent more than 28 years equipping students with the technical knowledge, transferable skills, and career confidence they need to thrive—through programs that integrate real-world industry partnerships, and best-in-class teacher training.  PLTW’s partnerships with industry leaders, universities, and other nonprofits ensures the curriculum stays at the cutting edge and mirrors modern workforce realities of today, while also building the lifelong skills needed for tomorrow.  Check out the Success Stories of PLTW alumni in their careers pltw.org/experience-pltw/national-awards/awards  Connect with Katie & PLTW: Website: pltw.orgX/Twitter: @PLTWorgYouTube: @TeamPLTWInstagram: @pltworgFacebook: @pltworgKatie's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/catherine-minihanChris Woods is the host of the STEM Everyday Podcast...

    Ep. 315 | The Periodic Table for Kids? | feat. Dr Colleen Kelley

    What happens when storytelling meets science? What happens when learning the periodic table becomes as common as other foundational skills like the alphabet or adding facts? Dr. Colleen Kelley is a retired chemistry professor turned storyteller, creator, and champion of "Molecular Literacy." As the founder of Kids’ Chemical Solutions, she’s on a mission to make chemistry fun, visual, and unforgettable through comic books, graphic novels, and games. Her award-winning work has reached audiences around the world — from the Emmy-winning PBS short “Comic Book Chemistry” to her TEDx talk “Molecular Literacy for Ages 8–108.” Through her M.C. Detective Agency series, Dr. Kelley transforms chemistry into an adventure, where kids solve molecular mysteries, uncover clues in the periodic table, and discover that science is simply the story of everything.  With a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Penn State University and a Chateaubriand Fellowship at the Université Pasteur in Strasbourg, France, under Nobel Laureate Jean-Marie Lehn, Dr. Kelley spent over 30 years teaching and researching environmental toxicology, medicinal chemistry, and chemical education. She’s authored four textbooks, 30+ peer-reviewed publications, and presented her work globally — but her greatest joy now comes from helping the next generation see chemistry in living color. Colleen's M.C. Detective Agency is a comic book series that turns complex chemistry concepts into thrilling, kid-friendly mysteries. The series invites readers to join Poppi, Ray, and the mysterious M.C. as they solve cases that only science can crack. Every case blends storytelling and science to build Molecular Literacy — a new way of learning chemistry that helps kids see, feel, and understand the molecular world long before high school chemistry begins. Young detectives learn that atoms, ions, and molecules aren’t just symbols on a page — they’re the building blocks of everything!

    STEM Everyday #311 | Project Baltimore | feat. Chris Papst

    STEM education requires a solid foundation of skills. Without basic math and reading proficiency, children are not prepared for the opportunities awaiting them in a world of changing careers. Chris Papst is the lead investigative reporter for Project Baltimore, Fox45 News’ ongoing investigation into Maryland’s public education system. As a national award-winning reporter, his work has led to the passing of state laws, criminal convictions, and court rulings that have set legal precedent throughout Maryland. Chris’s work has received recognition from institutions such as the Maryland General Assembly, the Maryland Office of the Comptroller, and the Maryland Office of the Inspector General for Education. He has received the NAACP’s Vanguard Award and an Emmy Award for investigative reporting. His new book Failure Factory: How Baltimore City Schools Deprive Taxpayers and Students of a Future, shines a critical light on America’s public education system by exposing what’s really happening inside classrooms and behind administrative doors – such as grade changing, the lower of academic standards and the manipulation of violence data.  Connect with Chris: Twitter/X: @chrispapstFacebook: @chris.papst.7Project Baltimore news: foxbaltimore.com/news/project-baltimoreFind a copy of Failure Factory on Amazon or Barnes & NobleChris Woods is the host of the STEM Everyday Podcast...
