Brains and Beakers: A new Youth Radio series where young people bring science to life. With support from the National Science Foundation, Youth Radio wants to change the way young people think about science--and scientists. What better way to do that than to make science a media event? Youth Radio joined forces with David Pescovitz from the website boingboing.net and the Institute to the Future to invite a stellar line-up of inventors, engineers, and investigators to our studios in Downtown Oakland. They'll do interactive hands-on demos and then take questions from Youth Radio interviewers. And we'll capture it all, so you can listen and watch. Brains and Beakers audio segments: Tom Zimmerman is an IBM researcher who also makes bottle rockets and drum machines. And he created the technology behind the Nintendo Power Glove. Check out what he has to say.
