New Disney+ doc says the S in STEM stands for sport.
knows a thing or two about getting hands-on, and about the people behind technology. Her directorial debut was a 2016 short,"Queen of Code," about programming pioneer and United States Navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. That sparked an interest in science in Jacobs,"and after that I just kept pursuing these stories." In 2021, she launched a STEMcentric podcast,,"it was seven and a half years in the making without intentionally pursuing it," Jacobs said.
His idea was to demystify science, and expose kids to the possibilities of a career in a STEM field, especially"kids from underserved areas that don't ever meet scientists or engineers, particularly women and minority scientists and engineers." The idea was to build a bigger pipeline from school to STEM careers,"which, as you know, 30 years later we're desperate need of," and to do so by making STEM as cool as any other sport.
This would have been a little surprising to the younger Gillian Jacobs, who admitted that she was not great at STEM in school."Maybe, at some level, I'm trying to make up for that. My mother really encouraged me, she really wanted me to be good at math and science, she tried to get me to go to a math summer camp that I didn't want to go to. But as an adult I've realized that I am actually interested in this.
That collaborative element is part of what appealed to Jacobs."None of them go into this program knowing everything, but they learn a lot and they learn from each other."
