In this episode of GSD with Jeni, Jeni chats with Emmy-nominated science host Tamara Robertson (Mythbusters, SciJinks) to talk about her incredible journey from engineering to national television and how she’s on a mission to make STEM exciting, accessible, and empowering for the next generation.

Tamara shares how storytelling, hands-on experimentation, and curiosity can transform the way we think about science—and why STEM isn’t just a subject in school, it’s a mindset for solving real-world problems.

They also dive into:
• How Tamara went from engineer to science communicator
• What it takes to break into media and education as a STEM expert
• Why making science fun is the key to inspiring young minds
• Her work with Seekers of Science comics and Tinkering Treks maker books
• Practical ways parents and educators can spark curiosity in kids

If you care about innovation, education, or inspiring the next generation of problem-solvers, this conversation is for you.
