Gabriela, Manuel and Leonardo are three friends who accidentally start a rocket that takes them to space. Their journey through space takes them to different planets and strange worlds. Throughout their journey, they have the help of Maqui, an on-board computer. Maqui helps them learn about the universe. Manuel, Leo and Gabi arrive at a new planet where day and night go by very quickly. Only Leo understands their fast chatter. He is a tongue twister champion on Earth. Maqui takes this opportunity to explain the phenomenon of rotation to the three friends.

Georgia Tech's Parag Chordia believes music is a universal part of human culture, and his research shows music education can inspire greater interest in math, physics, and computer science. Chordia heads Georgia Tech's "Music Intelligence Group." With support from the National Science Foundation, his goals are to program computers to understand music and study the brains of professional musicians as they play composed music versus when they improvise.
Bilge Mutlu, a computer scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison knows a thing or two about the psychology of body language. With support from the National Science Foundation, Mutlu and his fellow computer scientist, Michael Gleicher, take a gaze into the behavior of humans and create algorithms to reproduce it in robots and animated characters. Both Mutlu and Gleicher are betting that there will be significant benefits to making robots and animated characters look more like humans.
Gabriela, Manuel and Leonardo are three friends who accidentally start a rocket that takes them to space. Their journey through space takes them to different planets and strange worlds. Throughout their journey, they have the help of Maqui, an on-board computer. Maqui helps them learn about the universe. The kids and Maqui see a strange space object, it looks like a spaceship. Maqui studies it and discovers that it’s a space station. The space station was created for all kinds of scientific research: physics and biology investigations, astronomic monitoring and studies on human beings in space. The kids land in the station and meet its commander, a computer called Inteligentis.
Tornadoes claim hundreds of lives and cause billions of dollars in damages in the United States. With support from the National Science Foundation, computer scientist Amy McGovern at the University of Oklahoma is working to find answers to key questions about tornado formation. While video from storm chasers and data from Doppler radar can help meteorologists understand some aspects of tornadoes, McGovern uses supercomputers to find patterns in very large datasets. She also works with weather experts to help her sort out the information in the simulations. McGovern’s ultimate goal is to come up with reliable tornado forecasting system.
Gabriela, Manuel and Leonardo are three friends who accidentally start a rocket that takes them to space. Their journey through space takes them to different planets and strange worlds. Throughout their journey, they have the help of Maqui, an on-board computer. Maqui helps them learn about the universe. The friends land on a planet hoping to find a way back home. They try of convince one of its inhabitants to fly them home in his spaceship. But he tells them his craft is too old and cannot take them back to Earth. Maqui studies all their options and explains to them the necessary characteristics that a spaceship must have to safely travel in space.
This project envisions a future where 3-D robotic systems can be produced and designed using 2-D desktop technology fabrication methods. If this feat is achieved, it would be possible for the average person to design, customize, and print a specialized robot in a matter of hours. This new project would completely automate the process, from sketches on-demand, anywhere, and with the skill of a team of professional engineers, leading to potential transformations in advanced manufacturing. The Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, known as CSAIL is focused on conducting groundbreaking research in artificial intelligence, computer systems, and the theory of computation, while also tackling pressing societal challenges such as education, health care, manufacturing and transportation. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
Nate Ball uses science to develop mechanical devices that help improve life. Some of his designs push technology to its limits, like his portable, refrigerated vaccine backpack.
Information and Communication Technologies, known as ICT's make reference to electronic devices used for specific communication purposes, for example: television, radio, Internet, cell phone, iPhone, iPod, computer and other technological innovations that are part of the information culture.
Follow a structural engineer through a busy day of working with sophisticated design tools. He is tasked with creating safe, long-lasting structures. Part of the "Career Connections" series.

Explores how the digestive system works and how to use the food chart to eat healthfully. Also reveals all the physiological details of the esophagus, the large and small intestines, and the stomach.
United States Geological Survey geologist, Angie Diefenbach, describes how she uses GIS (Geographic Information Systems) software to study volcanic erupts and their impacts on society.
Presents the principles of weather dynamics. Shows how weather conditions are measured, how computer models are used to predict the weather, the special role of moisture in producing weather phenomena, and finally, the impact of hazardous weather.
Presents three key concepts of science: static electricity, magnetism, and generating electricity. Each concept is illustrated with a variety of experiments and computer animation to illuminate what is happening both visibly and at the molecular level.
Presents three key physics concepts about force and motion: constant speed, acceleration, and gravity and falling. Each concept is illustrated with a variety of experiments and computer animation to illuminate what is happening both visibly and at the molecular level.
Meet a chemist who owns his own business that develops synthetic DNA molecules designed to reprogram cells and help cure diseases. Hear the importance of writing, communication skills, and creativity to becoming a successful chemist. Part of the "Career Connections" series.
What is the information "superhighway" really all about? Communications engineers at GTE and US WEST provide a remarkably clear introduction to the basic concepts of the digital communications revolution. Demonstrates how 1s and 0s represent graphics, video, and even sounds.
Discover how the James Webb Space Telescope will help scientists studying the formation of stars. The telescope will provide infrared observations and give astronomers an unprecedented view of stellar birth. Computer models show how a giant cloud of gas and dust collapses to form stars and planets.
This program from the acclaimed PBS Nature series, "Forces of the Wild," focuses on the seasonal cycle of nature, beginning with spring's return of life to the planet. Uses natural history footage, computer animation, and time-lapse sequences to explain universal concepts. Narrated by James Earl Jones.
