Mark Rober's $60 million STEM curriculum is free for teachers. It uses engaging videos and hands-on demos to combat the "motivation gap" in science education. He's committed a week per month for five years to this project, believing it's the most important thing he'll do.
- 🚀 The curriculum covers 3rd-8th grade science with "banger" videos and simple classroom demos.
- 💰 Funded by wealthy donors, it costs $60 million to create but is free for all teachers.
- 💡 The goal is to make science exciting by "hiding the vegetables" – earning attention before teaching.
- 🤝 Mark sees this as "team teaching" with teachers, not replacing them.
- 🌟 He believes this project is more important than his 16 billion YouTube views because it addresses a fundamental issue in education.
