As a kid, I always enjoyed building things and seeing how things worked. I also had major softball and basketball obsessions. Some of my scientist friends grew up with a love of photography, music, or dance. We all had mentors and role models (some more official than others) who nurtured our curiosity and guided our interests. For a period of time, I was obsessed with MacGyver, a tv show in which the Angus MacGyver, a freelancer, gets all sorts of people out of extreme situations using only the items around him (duct tape, a swiss army knife, a shoe string, and his wits). It was an adventure show that featured creative problem solving.
It looks like they are trying to create a new MacGyver-like show to highlight the exciting things that can be done with a science and engineering background. Check out the website! Pitch an idea for the new show!
Who are some of your heroes and role models? How did you get interested in science and engineering?
