Some of the biggest opportunities for energy improvements occur in the building trades.
This program presents an overview of job opportunities in this booming industry where there is a high demand for trained professionals, designers, and workers to help improve the efficiency of commercial and residential buildings through better design of new buildings and smart improvements to existing structures.
Making our homes and offices more energy efficient is an enormous challenge, but the…
Test the limits of solubility! In this fun science activity, you will find out how much of a compound is too much to dissolve in water. https://www.sciencebuddies.org/stem-activities/solubility-limits?ytid=6nEH2XlcJt8&ytsrc=description

This video is a quick overview of our sound-following Arduino robot project. The robot uses two microphones to drive toward a sound source. You can find written instructions, including a parts list, circuit diagram, and example code, on our website: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project-ideas/Robotics_p048/robotics/sound-tracking-robot?ytid=AUguvwpnJ5M&ytsrc=description We also have a separate tutorial video about using a microphone with an Arduino:…
RFID tags can turn basic craft materials into an electronic musical instrument of your own design. Paper cups can become rich-sounding handbells with the addition of some RFID tags, a reader and a little programming.
To view full directions for this science project, see the full "Sounds Like RFID: Using a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Reader to Make Musical Instruments" Project Idea at Science Buddies.…
Machine learning and Data Mining sure sound like complicated things, but that isn't always the case. Here we talk about the surprisingly simple and surprisingly effective K-nearest neighbors algorithm.

Beginner-friendly explanation with example math for a simple type of neural network called a perceptron, which has a single binary output. The example uses just a single neuron and three binary inputs. If you've watched other videos but still don't understand the basic building block of a neural network, maybe this will help! Check out written instructions on our website to learn how to do this yourself for a science project:…
Today we’re going to teach John Green Bot how to tell the difference between donuts and bagels using supervised learning! Supervised learning is the process of learning WITH training labels, and is the most widely used kind of learning with it comes to AI - helping with stuff like tagging photos on Facebook and filtering spam from your email. We’re going to start small today and show how just a single neuron (or perceptron) is constructed, and explain the differences between precision and…
