How long has STEM been around?In this interview, Chris talks with his grandpa Gene “Herb” Clark, who was born on Christmas day in 1925. He graduated high school at the age of sixteen. While in the Navy, Gene studied radio communications and helped send and receive important information during World War II. He later worked for a company that made control cables, including the ones used on the first moon buggy on the Apollo 15 mission! So what did STEM look like in Gene’s day? And why should you have your kids interview someone in their lives?Chris Woods is the host of the STEM Everyday Podcast...

Research  reveals it is at the age of 10 that girls move from being excited to put their ideas forward on the subjects of science and technology to being more interested in being ‘likeable and pretty’. Organizations and schools in Sweden are joining forces to try to reverse this trend. Through a series of workshops, Volvo Construction Equipment together with Mälardalen University and researcher Ulrika Sultan are challenging girls to come up with technological solutions to some real-life societal problems – such as how to make recycling fun – in order not to only make them more confident in their engineering capabilities but show how engineering can make the world more sustainable. Press Release: https://www.volvoce.com/global/en/news-and-events/press-releases/2021/innovation-has-no-gender-volvo-ce-inspiring-tomorrows-female-engineers/Anna Sannö is Research Strategy Manager in the Advanced Engineering department of Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE), where she specializes in collaborating with partner organizations with a focus on sustainable development.
