I just stumbled across a new video called It Ain’t Rocket Science, about science and technology. This is a well done production staring Adam Balkin, produced by Time Warner Cable. The project is conceived as part of the Connect a Million Minds program. The first episode talks about the FIRST Robotics Competition and has an interviews with inventor Dean Kamen, President Barrack Obama and will.i.am. from the group Black Eyed Peas. Dean Kamen discusses the FIRST Robotics competition, Science, Math and Technology. I really liked the tone of the first episode. I hope they have a long run.
