In an episode which features a turn of the tables, Jose Cruz interviews his co-host, the one and only Nancy Sasaki, the CEO of the United Way of San Diego County. Nancy, who has spent her entire career in the non-profit world, has been leading United Way San Diego for just over five years. During these five years, Nancy has managed to find new ways to serve San Diego, particularly communities which have not seen the level of investment needed to generate life changing outcomes. One major, multi-partner initiative recently created and led by United Way is the "STEAM-to-Careers" program to expose high school students from Escondido and Lincoln High to the various career pathways in the world of STEAM. Often misunderstood and pigeonholed as careers only for those strong in math and engineering, STEAM-to-Careers is opening the aperture and showing students that there are many paths to enjoyable STEAM careers. And how does the program work? In collaboration with several partners, including Fleet Science Center, Paving Great Futures, San Diego Workforce Partnership, Junior Achievement, Escondido Compact, and SAY San Diego, STEAM-to-Careers is a 10-week rotational program with engineering, financial literacy, healthcare, and multi-media intensives. Students also participate in field trips to see STEAM in action by way of visiting companies such as Solar Turbines, Rady Children's Hospital, SDG&E, and Illumina. A very cool program built upon knowledge acquistion and knowledge application. You'll really enjoy this incredible episode which amplifies the excellent work of United Way of San Diego County. Here are some other takeaways from the interview:The impetus for creating STEAM-to-Careers was the recognition that 60% of jobs in San Diego County require post-secondary educationThe lack of awareness and access to STEAM in underserved communities is large and without programs like STEAM-to-Careers, many young adults will be challenged in finding many of the best high-paying jobs in the futureNancy's thoughts on the importance of reading at grade level by 3rd gradeIdeas for helping students pay for college once they get excited about a STEAM careerUpcoming opportunities with United Way, including the holiday drive for STEAM kitsAn excellent interview from a passionate gap minder. Thank you, Nancy, for your contributions in San Diego, your leadership of the United Way of San Diego County, and for joining us on The Gap Minders, the very show for which you are the Founding Co-Host! Enjoy this episode and be sure to subscribe to the show.If you have any questions or want to contact Nancy or Jose, please send an email to podcast@uwsd.org. Thank you for listening.To learn more about the two social impact organizations making The Gap Minders possible, please visit www.TheGapMinders.org.

As we shelter in place in the midst of a pandemic, the world waits for science to rescue us with testing, treatments and/or a vaccine. But how do we get more people to connect with the power of science on a regular basis? That's the mission of The Fleet Science Center. Steve Snyder is the CEO of "The Fleet" and was kind enough to join me and describe how that mission is executed even as the center itself is closed due to shelter in place orders. What you may not know is that there are programs throughout the county ongoing all the time. One of the themes is letting the audience drive the conversation - meeting them where they are. What do people want to know? As opposed to "Here's what you need to know about X." The conversation drives home the need for science communication. A highlight is the program, "Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar..." where once a month 2 scientists are available at about 25 bars and breweries around town just to talk about whatever they might be curious about. Wouldn't it be great if every kid growing up knew a scientist? Steve thinks that, in San Diego, it's possible. And imagine what kind of transformation could happen if we stopped actively excluding more than half the population from participating in science. Steve shared a story of how that is still happening and how we can change that. The Fleet Science Center

Jason Latimer is the creator of Impossible Science, an academic platform that unites science and magic to inspire wonder in education. He is also the curator of the Fleet Science Center and co-host of SciJinks, a popular series on the Science Channel. Jason is a Grand Prix best overall World Champion of magic, having developed a thrilling style of magic that is as captivating as it is educational.  Education is one of the most important things in personal development, but it isn’t always the most fun or interesting. Magic, on the other hand, can be incredibly interesting, though not necessarily informative. When this week’s guest saw a magician as a child, it inspired a curiosity for science that has led to an exciting and successful career uniting these two seemingly distinct fields.  Jason earned his degree in mathematics and econometrics from the University of California Santa Barbara. While attending UCSB he also worked with other universities, doing research in Perceptual Psychology and Applied Physics. Jason’s professional work has earned him recognition and awards in physics and engineering. What You’ll Hear On This Episode of When Science Speaks [2:48] How Jason came to love magic and how it relates to science [9:58] Not knowing something is the key to learning [13:01] What Jason is working on now [19:31] Impossible Science is meant for all ages [21:50] STEM topics should be taught as a tool [24:15] The origin and etymology of the word “scientist” [27:05] How to connect with Jason Connect with Jason Latimer Jason’s Website Twitter for Jason YouTube for Jason The unknown is a good thing It doesn’t feel good to be in the dark, and the unknown can be a frightening prospect. Gaining an understanding of the world, and acquiring scientific knowledge, can give a sense of control. The reverse of that is an almost limitless amount of things which we haven’t learned yet. The realization of that truth can be tough to swallow. So what is the best way to gain the strength to embrace our lack of knowledge and gain a sense of wonder? Kids tend to go through a phase where they are always asking “why”. As Jason mentions in the episode, it is an honest and earnest question, and that spirit starts to diminish as we get older. Putting up an illusion of knowledge can be tempting, as it can provide a buffer of comfort when facing the vastness of the unknown. The alternative is to develop that sense of wonder and gain an appetite for learning. Impossible Science is meant for all ages Learning is certainly important for the young, but what is often overlooked is that we never stop learning - or at least we shouldn’t stop! Learning not only enriches our experience of the world around us, but it also is very good for our minds and bodies to help keep us young. So is there a targeted age group at Impossible Science that Jason is hoping to reach? Absolutely not! As Jason mentions in the episode, Impossible Science is for everyone of all ages. When the experiments for the project were being designed, they engineered them to be accessible and enjoyable for all ages. There have been certain appearances, such as ComicCon, where they have had a more targeted age group, but Impossible Science is for everyone from, as Jason puts it in the episode, “5 to 105”.

On the first-ever road trip edition of the California Now Podcast, host Soterios Johnson gets out of the studio and explores Southern California’s awe-inspiring night sky. His stargazing adventure begins in sunny San Diego: After selecting the perfect set of wheels, Johnson jets to the Fleet Science Center to get a sense of our solar system and learn the best practices for star sighting. Then it’s time to dig into some earthly delights (hold the hot sauce) at Roberto’s Taco Shop before heading east toward the desert. A stop in the mountain town of Julian provides the opportunity to visit a bed-and-breakfast, that caters to amateur astronomers. Just before sunset, Johnson arrives in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, the only International Dark Sky Community in the state of California, to enjoy a guided tour through the universe. After a luxurious night at La Casa Del Zorro, Johnson drives through Joshua Tree National Park—he takes the less-traveled Southern Entrance and as a result enjoys relative solitude—as he continues on to learn about a star party in Twentynine Palms.

Alec Barron is the lead behind Competency X, a project that's already engaged teachers, local industry, and higher ed in a serious conversation about how competency-based practices, along with strong software platforms, can change the efficiency and effectiveness of school-supported pathways for youth to meaningful, prosperous futures in San Diego County.Links from this episode:Del Lago Academy: https://www.dellagoacademy.org/Portfolium: https://portfolium.com/Competency X: https://www.competencyx.com/BIOCOM: https://www.biocom.org/s/Fleet Science Center: https://www.rhfleet.org/Digital Badge Summit: https://badgesummit.weebly.com/Palomar College: https://www2.palomar.edu/Miramar College: https://www.sdmiramar.edu/Pharmatec: http://www.pharmtech.com/Assessment for Learning Project: https://www.assessmentforlearningproject.org/Education Design Lab: https://eddesignlab.org/Nicole Pinkard: http://www.sesp.northwestern.edu/profile/?p=1049&/NicholePinkard/Center for Collaborative Education: http://cce.org/Reimagining College Access: https://learningpolicyinstitute.org/project/reimagining-college-access See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Director of photography and marine biologist, Richard Fitzpatrick, talks about his new film, Great Barrier Reef, opening this week at the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park. What started as a kid capturing sharks on the reef with his buddies has turned into a career as an Emmy® Award-winning cinematographer who has shot more than 50 films for clients such as the BBC, National Geographic, and Discovery Channel. Cantore opens the show talking about 4th of July in the neighborhood and how he's not afraid to beam kids with water balloons.

After over four years of research as an Archeo-astronomer, by avocation, I discovered the Archeo-astronomical find of the time in August 2012. In October 2012 I presented my findings and was awarded the prestigious, ‘Graham Hancock Award’ at CPAK 2012 (Conference on Precession and Ancient Knowledge) in Rancho Mirage California. I have labeled my Archeo-astronomical find, ‘The Shadows on the Face of the Sphinx Phenomenon’. My find was discovered using Google Earth and time lapse photography.   This pod cast was originally the You Tube I made to mark, in time, the aforementioned Archeo-astronomical find for CPAK 2012.   Now, six months later I have made yet another amazing Archeo-astronomical find concerning Pi being encoded into the latitude of the Sphinx. This is very interesting to me because what led me to my discovery of, ‘The Shadows on the Face of the Sphinx Phenomenon’ was studying Ancient Pi or 3.142857142857142857142857 and the shadow phenomenon that takes place every February 21st and October 21st on the right paw of the Sphinx, one month prior the Vernal Equinox and one month following the Autumnal Equinox respectively. My recent find intrigues me because my study of Ancient Pi and the Geodesic co-ordinates of the Sphinx 'paved the way' for me to discover ‘Modern Pi’ ‘ENCODED’ at the Latitude of the Sphinx! (Yes, some history books may need rewriting.)   I was preparing for Pi day at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in San Diego California with the intent of sharing my work on Ancient Pi and ‘The Shadows on the Face of the Sphinx Phenomenon’. In the process of that preparation an entirely new Archeo-astronomical find was discovered! This new Archeo-astronomical find, concerning Modern Pi encoded at the latitude of the Sphinx, will be the subject of my fourth pod cast.   Before I publish my fourth pod cast and my newest Archeo-astronomical find concerning ‘Modern Pi’ ‘ENCODED’ at the Latitude of the Sphinx, I am now, on 2/23/2013, publishing my October, 2012 You Tube as a pod cast for my pod cast viewers. Some of my pod cast viewers may not know what my Archeo-astronomical find entailed, ‘The Shadows on the Face of the Sphinx Phenomenon’ is.   My fourth pod cast will be published before Pi Day, March 14th in honor of our visit to the Rueben H. Fleet Science Center, San Diego, California on 3.14 Day. There will be a celebration entitled, ‘Pizza, Pinot and Pi at the San Diego Rueben H. Fleet Science Center on March 14th. That's all for now my star gazing friends, this is April Vihilidal leaving you with this thought, 'may the Sphinx smile upon you'!
