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.

Erin works at NASA's Johnson Space Center as a science communication specialist for the International Space Station at NASA's Johnson Space Center. She shares the amazing stories of research on the space station with the world through writing and social media. Today on the Casual Space Podcast, Erin shares with Beth specific examples of space station spinoffs that have benefited humanity (20+ years of science has been conducted aboard the space station) and the impact it's made for all of us back on Earth- all captured in the new book, The ISS Benefits for Humanity 2022.  AND, Beth congratulates Erin on a very prestigious, and much- deserved award for her work as a space communicator.  “Its a joy to be able to now work in the space industry as a senior science communications specialist telling the stories of International Space Station Research.”- Erin W. Anthony From the book (You're going to want to read this book) The ISS Benefits for Humanity 2022 book; It's DIGITAL, and it's FREE to download!!!!!  https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/news/benefits-2022-book The International Space Station is a modern marvel. Only 400 kilometers (250 miles) above our heads, it streaks spectacularly across the sky at 28,200 kilometers (17,500 miles) per hour, orbiting the Earth every 90 minutes. The station carries an impressive array of research facilities supporting hundreds of experiments at any given time across every major science discipline. It can host up to eight visiting vehicles and accommodate 11 crew—all while providing an amazing view featuring 16 sunrises and sunsets per day. But what is so special about an orbiting lab? What makes scientists willing to tackle the significant challenges of planning and scheduling research, designing and building hardware, and committing extraordinary time and effort to complete experiments? It's all about location. An orbiting laboratory provides researchers with the unique features of low-Earth orbit (LEO): long-duration microgravity, exposure to space, and a unique perspective on our planet. These attributes enable scientists to conduct innovative experiments that cannot be done anywhere else… Check out the latest NASA Explorers video series Erin worked on, along with friend of the show and writer Rachel Barry here; https://youtu.be/-pJcbKr7iA4 And find Erin on Twitter at: @ISS_Research More about Erin:  Erin works at NASA's Johnson Space Center as a science communication specialist for the International Space Station.

Germany's RWE is building the world's largest floating offshore wind farm in the North Sea, which will be powered by floating solar. The pilot is intended to jumpstart commercialization, which should begin in 2023. Is this a good idea, and if so, where does it make sense? How fossil fuels will continue to be integrated into renewable energy is a sticky subject, and definitely worth discussing. Speaking of integrating technology, Toyota introduced a portable hydrogen cartridge that might make swapping batteries as easy as picking up a new propane tank. Meanwhile, even as Norway's Petroleum & Energy Ministry is researching energy transition opportunities for the country, it's questioning the profitability of Dogger Bank. And Power Curve CTO Nicholas Gaudern explains how Dragon Scales put a new spin on vortex generators.

We have a great show for this week. We're gonna talk about floating solar and why Rosemary does not like floating solar and then we're gonna look at floating wind that is powering oil and gas rigs off the coast of Norway, which Rosemary again, doesn't like, but then we're gonna talk about something RO Rosemary really doesn't like, which is Toyota making hydrogen capsules. Allen Hall: You can take home and power your microwave with, and then we'll have a guest interview with Nicholas Gaudern CTO of Power Curve where we'll discuss the next generation of vortex generators so stay tuned. We'll be back after the music, Allen Hall: German energy firm, RWE is investing in a pilot project centered around the deployment of a floating solar technology up in the north sea. And they're calling it a floating solar park and it's gonna be installed off the waters off of the coast of Belgium. Allen Hall: It's gonna be a half a megawatt peak plant and the company that's developing this floating solar system, I guess the solar system does that sound right? that sounds odd. This company is named Solar Duck and it's a floating platform. So it's a it Rosemary, if you haven't seen this, it's a, it's a triangular set of solar panels on three legs that float above the, the, the surface of the ocean and they connect together. Allen Hall: Kinda like Legos in a, in a sense they kind of click together. So it's a floating, moving platform with a bunch of floats on it, and then they anchor it to the ocean floor on the corners. So you got this big triangular floating. Oh, I guess they can mix making into different shapes, I suppose. You got this big floating thing out in the ocean that is collecting solar energy so that the goal of solar duct is to use this demonstration to show that they can do this on, on a grander scale. Allen Hall: And I guess other companies are doing it. There's an energy firm. The Portuguese energy firm EDP is is opening a five megawatt floating solar park. So there's, there's more than one company doing this. Solar Duck is based in the Netherlands, at least that's what they show up on, on Google that may be based in other places, but that's what it shows for. Allen Hall: Shows them. Does, but Rosemary, does this make any sense as do we need floating solar?  Rosemary Barnes: I, I have actually just recently put floating solar on my list of things that I have to cover because it, I have never seen the point, but. There are enough projects like this enough serious money going into them that I feel like I have to engage more. Rosemary Barnes: It,

You may not have control over what happens to you but you can have 100% control over how you respond to what happens to you. 2. We learn every day, especially from the bad choices we have made but that is only half of the equation. The important thing is how we apply what we have learnt. 3. No matter how difficult the situation is you always have the power of choice so have the courage to make conscious choices moment by moment. 4. And lastly, I have almost fallen in love with Stephen Covey's quote (from his book 'The Eighth Habit') ‘ between stimulus and response, there lies a space and in that space lies our freedom to choose our destiny' and so I ask you - are you going to use your power of choice or are you going to leave your life to chance? You can personally write to me at sharinglifelessons101@gmail.com with your comments or if you have a story to share with our listeners. I will bring you another episode of Sharing Life Lessons next Wednesday. Until then, 'Be happy, be safe and be well'. Podcast links:.

Jasmine Sadler is the Founder and CEO of The STEAM Collaborative, which focuses on advocacy for science, technology, engineering and mathematics education through an artistic lens. The STEAM Collaborative works with community-based organizations, informal educators, and museums to design, implement, and manage team education programs.  Growing up in Detroit, Jasmine was always encouraged to try new things, from dance to gymnastics. She always loved math and rather excelled at it, tutoring other kids in her 8th grade algebra class. Her math journey continued as she pursued outside, informal engineering programs where she eventually stumbled upon the aerospace field. She earned her Bachelor’s in Aerospace Engineering from Michigan University, and would eventually take a job as a defense contractor in Indianapolis. However, creating dangerous weapons for the military presented a moral dilemma and eventually pushed her out of the field and into another position at Solar Turbines in San Diego.  Jasmine talks about how she always had an entrepreneurial mindset, selling candy and homemade crafts to other students. This pushed her towards an MBA at Point Loma Nazarene University. From there, she thought about what she was willing to do for free and decided on tutoring. This led to the creation of The STEAM Collaborative.  With informal education being crucial to her career path, Jasmine wanted to open the same experience to underserved communities. With the onset of COVID-19, many schools’ math curriculums fell to the wayside, creating an opportunity for Jasmine to do more than just tutor.  Listen in as host Neal Bloom talks with Jasmine about the impact of informal education and The STEAM Collaborative’s plans for the future, as well as her experience as a recent CONNECT ALL @ the Jacobs Center graduate.  Jasmine’s favorite local tacos: Lupe’s in Linda Vista  Connect with Jasmine: LinkedIn Book time with Jasmine Keep up with The STEAM Collaborative: Website: https://www.steamcollab.com/  LinkedIn Facebook: @theSTEAMcollab  Instagram: @thesteamcollab  Thanks to our partners at Cox Business for their support in enabling us to grow the San Diego ecosystem.
