In this clip from SciTech Now, we visit Euphony – a company that’s giving a new kind of voice to those with speech disorders.

In our data driven worlds, developers are integrating tech into our infrastructure and a company in Missouri is working to bring technology to the roadways. Sustainability strategist Leyla Acjaralou helps us bust environmental myths such as the often debated question: paper or plastic? We sit in on the Creative Technology program at Columbia’s University’s Teacher’s College where future teachers are learning how to integrate tech into art classes. And we take a look at a unique collection of scientific and medical devices from decades past.

In this issue of the free online magazine Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears, learn about the tools and technologies scientists use to study the land, ice, ocean, atmosphere, and living creatures of the polar regions. Students can also learn about the day-to-day life of a scientist working at the South Pole and plan their own research expedition.

This subject exposes students to a variety of visualization techniques so that they learn to understand the work involved in producing them and to critically assess the power and limits of each. Students concentrate on areas where visualizations are crucial for meaning making and data production. Drawing on scholarship in science and technology studies on visualization, critical art theory, and core discussions in science and engineering, students work through a series of case studies in order to become better readers and producers of visualizations.

Dope the semiconductor to create a diode. Watch the electrons change position and energy.

This issue of the free online magazine, Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears, examines how elementary teachers can introduce the Arctic and Antarctica and use science, geography, literacy, and technology to help students compare and contrast these two dramatically different areas as well as their own home.

In this video from Science City, Shaundra Bryant Daily, an electrical engineer, describes a software program she developed to help girls reflect on their emotions, and how her two passionsí_í_íŹscience and danceí_í_íŹare connected.

Why do the lights turn on in a room as soon as you flip a switch? Flip the switch and electrons slowly creep along a wire. The light turns on when the signal reaches it.

Is it a tumor? Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can tell. Your head is full of tiny radio transmitters (the nuclear spins of the hydrogen nuclei of your water molecules). In an MRI unit, these little radios can be made to broadcast their positions, giving a detailed picture of the inside of your head.
