Innovation happens, and it happens now in ways that are almost instant in the marketplace. So, somebody comes up with a wonderful idea that we could do—a 3D printer. In the old days, it might have been 12 years before we could see it, but about nine months later, for $1200, you can buy one.

Or a drone. Now, not a missile-firing drone, but a drone with a high pro—now 4K camera that you can fly above your house or above a crowd and get a video. Or even increasingly wearables and the like.

What we do at the MASIE Center is we take an innovation that’s cool, cool, cool and ask an interesting, very important question: beyond being cool, can it do anything? Specifically, can it help an individual or a corporation with learning?

And so, drones. They’re kind of fun to fly. I have three of them, but if you worked at an insurance company and there was a fire, imagine the ability to literally, hours after the fire is under control, to fly above—not only for you, the insurance company, doing an audit, but think about the peace of mind for the owner of that house.

So, we’re always involved, kind of like the MIT Media Lab for learning, to look at the connection between technology and innovation and learning.

Path of the Panther | Official Trailer | National Geographic

We called this area Shimmering Waters. [Music] This is our home, just like it’s the home to the deer, the frogs, and the panther. This is our home. [Music] This is the number one cause of death: vehicle collision is number one. In the last two weeks, we …

Ice Age Cave Art: Unlocking the Mysteries Behind These Markings | Nat Geo Live

Genevieve Von Petzinger: This incredible art that mostly dates between 10 and 40,000 years ago. What we often think of, of course, is the animals. But there’s this other enormous group called the geometric signs that outnumber the animals and the humans a…

Introduction to infinite limits | Limits and continuity | AP Calculus AB | Khan Academy

In a previous video, we’ve looked at these graphs. This is y equal to one over x squared. This is y is equal to one over x. We explored what’s the limit as x approaches zero in either of those scenarios. In this left scenario, we saw as x becomes less an…

Who Is Responsible For Climate Change? – Who Needs To Fix It?

Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have released over 1.5 trillion tons of carbon dioxide or CO₂ into the Earth’s atmosphere. In the year 2019, we were still pumping out around 37 billion more. That’s 50 percent more than the year 2000 and almost thr…

The Strange—but Necessary—Task of Vaccinating Wild Seals | National Geographic

You’re walking around with a sharp needle on the end of a stick, and you’re walking around rocks and tide pools and some terrain that could be tricky. Then, you’re approaching a 400-plus-pound animal, an endangered species, and you’re going to try to, you…

RC step response 2 of 3 solve

In the last video on step response, we set up the differential equation that describes our circuit, and we found that it was a non-homogeneous equation. Now we’re going to follow through on the strategy of solving it with a forced response plus a natural …
