    (STEM)2 S9E5 Bonus Episode - - Who were the ten most influential scientists of the past 250 years?
    Jul 5 2026
    In this bonus episode we journey through the remarkable history of science by exploring the lives and discoveries of ten of the most influential scientists of the past 250 years. From Albert Einstein's revolutionary theories of relativity and Charles Darwin's explanation of evolution to Marie Curie's pioneering work on radioactivity and Alan Turing's foundations of modern computing, we examine how these extraordinary thinkers transformed our understanding of the natural world and forever changed human society. Along the way, we uncover the stories behind their groundbreaking discoveries, the challenges they overcame, and the lasting impact their work continues to have on medicine, technology, communication, and everyday life. Whether you're a lifelong science enthusiast, an educator, or simply curious about the people who shaped our modern world, this episode offers an inspiring look at the history of scientific discovery and the power of curiosity to change the future.

    Series 9 Episode 4: Island STEAM - Protecting the Past and Fostering the Future in Art and Culture
    Jun 26 2026
    Series 9 Episode 4: Island STEAM - Protecting the Past and Fostering the Future in Art and Culture — In fourth episode we are examining aesthetics and art-based education in island STEAM. More specifically we will be looking at how the worlds thousands of uninhabited and inhabited islands provide a rich natural and cultural mosaic of curiosity and arts-based inspiration connected to the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Lessons and activities tied to place-based learning that includes activities, themes, and units connected to the world’s diverse islands enriches learning for all students through the infusion of drawing, journaling, poetry, music and other forms of visual performance. The news in this episode explores how islands around the world are using STEAM to protect and preserve historic and cultural sites from ocean level rise. We also discuss New Zealand’s earth science explorations of how the arts weaves into the sciences and look at the value of nature journaling for students of all ages.

    Series 9 Episode 3: Island STEAM - Engineering and Ecology that Includes 3D Island Building Activities for Students — In the third episode of our Island STEAM series we explore 3D island modelling and building can enhance students understanding of science and engineers in ways that particularly benefit our visually exceptional learners. Like information presented in previous episodes, the physical construction of islands can be deeply steeped in place-based learning and direct observation of arctic, temperate, tropical, desert and/or volcanic islands as an individual/class based learning activity that can be shared with the rest of your school and families at STEAM nights. In the news we look at the engineering of artificial reef building in Malaysia and geothermal partnerships between Island and Columbia. We have included a link to a middle school island building activity as well for educators wanting to see and example of how 3D island building might be incorporated into the classroom.
