This eleven part series, created by the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and NBC Learn, explores the science of innovation. Narrated by newscaster Ann Curry, each segment is approximately five minutes. The offerings include "What is Innovation?" "Biofuels," "3-D Printing," and "Electronic Tattoos." First-time visitors may wish to start by viewing the "Self-Driving Cars" which profiles the work of software engineers at Google as they work on creating a fleet of driverless cars. It's easy to see how this series could be used in the high school or college classroom and it offers a creative approach to talking about this fascinating concept.
