The “Choose-Your-Own-Chemistry-Adventure” episode was created by, from left, Elizabeth Choe ’13, executive producer; George Zaidan ’08, director; and Whitney Hess PhD '16.A new season of Science Out Loud, an original web series produced by MIT students and alumni, is now online. The audience is middle and high school students. The idea is to bring scientific concepts to life through experiments and demos, not chalkboards and equations. It’s bringing Mens et Manus to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) subjects.So how do viewers learn? In one example, the choose-your-own chemistry adventure gives viewers the opportunity to click through the video to change the ingredients of a chemical reaction and create the best foam explosion.Other short video topics:
