"Through collaborations and tackling big challenges, I want to encourage a pursuit of careers that lead to a safer, more secure, prosperous, sustainable, healthy, and joyous world for all,” former NASA engineer and Dr. Nehemiah J. Mabry, P.E. and host of the Building Stuff with NOVA | PBS Twitch stream told Forbes. Building Stuff with NOVA’s Twitch stream features a four-night series, Y3K: Countdown to Shutdown from October 27-30, 2024. The interactive episodes feature an interactive escape room showcasing Science, Engineering, Technology and Math (STEM) content. "The concept for this project originated with the creative team at NOVA, who, like me, recognize that informal gameplay and curiosity can be powerful pathways to learning,” said Dr. Nee. “In particular, engineering offers a unique opportunity to reveal how people naturally think as engineers in their daily encounters.”

Stories can provide a sense of identity and belonging, connecting individuals to history, their communities, and creating emotional connections to big ideas. Stories by and about youth especially give them a voice, representation, and inspiration to engage with the world around them. Join GBH Education, StoryCorps, and special guest Jason Reynolds to talk about the importance of storytelling and civic identity. This webinar will feature the StoryCorps resources in the new GBH-produced Civics Collection on PBS LearningMedia for educators and students in grades 6-12, and a special conversation with Reynolds about the power of storytelling in the classroom.

On Monday night, GBH News and PRX's "The Big Dig" podcast will be recognized for outstanding preservation and storytelling by the Boston Preservation Alliance at the 36th Annual Preservation Achievement Awards in Boston. Every year, the Alliance selects a sample of buildings and educational resources that demonstrate the many ways that preservation adds vibrancy to our city. BPA Executive Director Alison Frazee: "Utilizing an accessible platform, 'The Big Dig' podcast illuminates the complicated process of community activism and advocacy, the broad impacts of decisions often made by those who are shielded from the consequences, and the lingering skepticism of communities who felt cast aside, which still impacts Boston neighborhoods today." Congratulations to the entire "The Big Dig" team! Haven't listened to "The Big Dig" yet?

There's at least one fan of GBH's MASTERPIECE...in space! ICYMI, astronaut (and #AllCreaturesPBS superfan) Sunita Williams Zoomed into GBH News' "Boston Public Radio" last week from the International Space Station to talk about a NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration mission that unexpectedly went from eight days to eight months. When she's note working, she conjures the coziness of the Dales with an episode of "All Creatures Great and Small." Astronauts, they're just like us!
