UC Davis Beta Lab Studies ‘Maker Movement’ in Youth

Research project with mobile lab evaluates how students learn STEM

The Maker Movement is, simply put, an initiative that engages students through projects they like — sewing for fashion, using a 3-D printer — before subsequently integrating traditional academic learning. But Maker Movement is more than a return to the old.

To impact the world, local business seeks to turn trash into 3D treasure

The big idea was garbage.

Dr. Robot

On the cusp of the new automation age, health care providers have more high-tech tools than ever before, which may forever change medicine — one robot at a time

From a robot’s perspective, humans probably look like deeply flawed creatures: imprecise, accident-prone, injury-ridden, hazardous — walking glitches waiting to happen.

This view isn’t exactly wrong.

The Long Reach

As smart technology grows more essential to modern ag, farmers languish in digital dead zones

Infrastructure improvements are costly, and with too few customers spread over too great a distance, are usually not worth the return on investment for business.

But some ISPs are finding ways.
