space camp

Aero CEO Uma Subramanian speaks to Spencer on this episode of Office Hours about her love of everything that flies. Her appreciation of flight was sparked by her visit to Space Camp as a child which led her on the path to study aerospace engineering. Uma got her start in the aviation industry working at Northrop Grumman under contract to NASA. After receiving her MBA at Harvard Business School, Subramanian went into consulting, then returned to aerospace. After a brief stint as the director of European operations for TaskRabbit, her career pivoted towards innovation in the aviation world. Uma was the founding CEO of Voom, an Airbus company, which built the world’s first urban air transportation system in São Paulo and Mexico City using helicopters–effectively creating one of the world’s first vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) networks. Uma shares the strategies that Aero has used to build its luxury air travel brand by offering private flights at a lower price point.

Abigail Harrison is known as “Astronaut Abby”, and she set a goal at a very young age to be the first person ever to set foot on Mars. Her path has led her to becoming a major advocate for STEM and particularly STEM education for girls and marginalized groups—people historically left out of the space conversation. She's built a following of over a million, and I could spend a long time singing her praises.

Episode 95

80’s Kids go to Space

In this episode of The Escape Pod we join our favorite heros Don  “DellaSnooch” Sulski, and Brady “Big” Lovin  as they spend some time discussing what new in the pop culture news of the time, what is coming down the pike in video games, what is swirling around the rumor mill (the hot sheets), and as always they boys talk Starwars.

This week the Escape Pod boys Brady, Don and Chris get into the way back machine, and take a look at the classic 80’s movies Space Camp and Explorers. Do they hold up, are they fond memories trapped in the 80’s or are they stories that transcends time and fit in any decade. 

The Escape Pod aint no Disney show, We’re a little dirty, a few drinks in, ready to get into it, and we Always Do It Live

When you think of STEM, do you automatically think of coding? We talked with Marti Skold-Jordan from Honeywell about how the company is using a week-long space camp experience to introduce kids to all kinds of STEM careers in an exciting, hands-on way.
