Mission Unstoppable

A computer scientist shows us how our perception of something can vary from reality, and an engineer shows us how she's building the next generation of self-driving wheelchairs. Jackie Means makes an egg that can bounce, then we learn about the explosive science behind limestone mining.

A herpetologist helps us lasso lizards - for research! And meet the woman who helped make computers a reality. Then, Chef Claire uses science to help us bake, even when our pantry isn't fully stocked. And we discover the technology that keeps scuba divers safe underwater. 

An ecologist introduces us to an adorable animal called the pika. Dr. Moiya McTier teaches us about exoplanets. Dr. Brain give us tricks to calm our anxiety. And two tribologists explain the sticky science of friction.

The physics that make roller coasters a fun ride; Michelle Barboza makes bismuth crystals; an engineer who makes machinery more reliable; a chemical engineer who wants to put human tissue on a microchip.

A civil engineer shows us how she purifies water for more than 20 cities in California, and we take a nature side quest to discover how animals transport their newly born babies. Then, Miranda spills the STEM Tea on Jupiter's coolest moon, and Erica visits a firefighting squad in Colorado.

An animal care curator shows us how she's helping to conserve small desert cat populations. Dr. Brain reveals why you sometimes see faces in inanimate objects. Then, we get crafty – building morse code robots! And we meet a textile engineer who's making the sustainable fabric of the future. 

Nabeel faces his fears and learns the physics behind indoor skydiving. Miranda spills the STEM tea on why honey is such a magical food. We take a nature side quest to discover the weird ways animals use poison and venom in the wild kingdom and Erica visits a construction site to see how STEM helps build skyscrapers. 

Meet an engineer who does her work … underwater. Then, learn how to build yourself a robot who brews you tea. And does your brain need language to think? Dr. Brain can explain. Plus, discover how science helps one woman create hit pop songs.
