ROADTRIP NATION Season 14


#1401: Find Your Voice
A new road trip begins! Road-trippers Ariel, Elicia, and Regina set off in the green RV to meet inspiring women in STEM who’ve forged their own paths. In Boston, they hear why Harvard professor Evelynn Hammonds went from physics to the history of science, and artist Janet Echelman, whose awe-inspiring sculptures sway above cities across the world, shares the importance of finding your own voice.

#1402: Get Out There
In NYC, the road-trippers meet the mechanical engineer who’s pushing touch technology into the future. Katherine Kuchenbecker is working on haptic technologies that will shape medicine, commerce, and more. Next up, artist and activist Zaria Forman talks about the transformative power of travel, and entrepreneur Jewel Burks tells her gutsy story of building a company from the ground up.

#1403: Many Paths
As the road-trippers head south, they visit NASA’s largest rocket engine test facility and meet two women who are launching America into space and proving that there isn’t just one path to success. Then, with former MIT Media Lab professor Leah Buechley, the team sees how merging your interests can create something amazing, and inspire more girls to pursue STEM and create amazing things, too.

#1404: Build the Future
The road-trippers end their journey in San Francisco, where they meet Debbie Sterling and hear about the experiences that sparked her company, GoldieBlox, which makes engineering toys for girls. Last up, MythBusters’ Kari Byron talks about experimentation, curiosity, being brave, and doing things you didn’t think you could do; but her most important work is being a role model for young girls.
