Science Mom | Artificial Intelligence and Better Ways of Learning
In this episode Jepson interviews his sister, Jenny Taylor, who has worked as a molecular biologist and a wildland firefighter, and at several jobs that land in between wearing a lab coat and wielding a chainsaw. She got her online start during Covid when all the schools shut down and there was a big spike in demand for online educational content. Jenny then went on and created an amazing resource of online science courses for kids that parents can use to educate their children. She explains one of the secrets to keeping kids engaged, such as creating a mystery, and then solving it, and then we talk about the importance of passion that teachers need to have in order to really gain a reputation and get kids really excited about learning.
