STEM Go Pro Day!

So, here we are at SimGoPro Day. So, here we are at SimGoPro Day. Really beautiful event here at the Really beautiful event here at the Really beautiful event here at the amazing Shell Energy Stadium. Look at amazing Shell Energy Stadium. Look at amazing Shell Energy Stadium. Look at this. [singing] this. [singing] this. [singing] And our first guest today is Jancy And our first guest today is Jancy And our first guest today is Jancy McPhee. McPhee. McPhee. >> Hi everyone. >> Hi everyone. >> Hi everyone. >> Jancy McPhee, she's a >> Jancy McPhee, she's a >> Jancy McPhee, she's a renowned scientist, apparently. I don't renowned scientist, apparently. I don't renowned scientist, apparently. I don't I don't really know much about you, so I don't really know much about you, so I don't really know much about you, so >> been promoted. >> been promoted. >> been promoted. >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> Let's hear Let's hear your story. >> Let's hear Let's hear your story. >> Let's hear Let's hear your story. >> Thanks, Benjamin. So, I am a >> Thanks, Benjamin. So, I am a >> Thanks, Benjamin. So, I am a professional scientist by training. And professional scientist by training. And professional scientist by training. And I grew up in the humanities home, and I grew up in the humanities home, and I grew up in the humanities home, and all of my hobbies are music and theater. all of my hobbies are music and theater. all of my hobbies are music and theater. So, I just had this interest in in how So, I just had this interest in in how So, I just had this interest in in how humans are creative and how they solve humans are creative and how they solve humans are creative and how they solve problems. That's my area of expertise. problems. That's my area of expertise. problems. That's my area of expertise. And I also work in the space world. So, And I also work in the space world. So, And I also work in the space world. So, I'm interested in how we are going I'm interested in how we are going I'm interested in how we are going longer and further into space, and how longer and further into space, and how longer and further into space, and how are we going to survive when we do that? are we going to survive when we do that? are we going to survive when we do that? So, I founded the organization SciArt So, I founded the organization SciArt So, I founded the organization SciArt Exchange to bring together space, Exchange to bring together space, Exchange to bring together space, science, and technology, and all the science, and technology, and all the science, and technology, and all the arts: music, theater, arts: music, theater, arts: music, theater, visual art, video, and to encourage visual art, video, and to encourage visual art, video, and to encourage people to get excited about space, people to get excited about space, people to get excited about space, but also to train themselves to be but also to train themselves to be but also to train themselves to be better in the workforce better in the workforce better in the workforce by not just studying one thing, but by not just studying one thing, but by not just studying one thing, but giving themselves a big broad experience giving themselves a big broad experience giving themselves a big broad experience base. So, like if you want to be an base. So, like if you want to be an base. So, like if you want to be an engineer, engineer, engineer, why don't you try composing a little why don't you try composing a little why don't you try composing a little art, or making a film, or drawing a art, or making a film, or drawing a art, or making a film, or drawing a picture?

picture? picture? Just gives your brain more tools to Just gives your brain more tools to Just gives your brain more tools to figure out how to solve problems. figure out how to solve problems. figure out how to solve problems. >> I see. I see. So, >> I see. I see. So, >> I see. I see. So, you know, you usually think like you know, you usually think like you know, you usually think like sciences and arts are separate things, sciences and arts are separate things, sciences and arts are separate things, like like like left hemisphere, right hemisphere of left hemisphere, right hemisphere of left hemisphere, right hemisphere of your brains. Well, there's that corpus your brains. Well, there's that corpus your brains. Well, there's that corpus callosum that connects them. callosum that connects them. callosum that connects them. >> Woo! >> Woo! >> Woo! >> And so, what you're talking about is >> And so, what you're talking about is >> And so, what you're talking about is activating activating activating both hemispheres simultaneously both hemispheres simultaneously both hemispheres simultaneously and really utilizing and really utilizing and really utilizing >> You're You're totally getting it. Why >> You're You're totally getting it. Why >> You're You're totally getting it. Why would you ever want to use only half would you ever want to use only half would you ever want to use only half your brain? your brain? your brain? >> Right. >> Right. >> Right. >> You want to use your whole brain, and >> You want to use your whole brain, and >> You want to use your whole brain, and you want to be good at it. And if you're you want to be good at it. And if you're you want to be good at it. And if you're thinking about what you want to be when thinking about what you want to be when thinking about what you want to be when you grow up, or even if you're our age you grow up, or even if you're our age you grow up, or even if you're our age and you're still working on what you're and you're still working on what you're and you're still working on what you're going to be when you grow up, going to be when you grow up, going to be when you grow up, then you want to be sure that you're then you want to be sure that you're then you want to be sure that you're >> really fully grown up. >> really fully grown up. >> really fully grown up. >> I don't >> I don't >> I don't >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> You You You want to be sure that you're >> You You You want to be sure that you're >> You You You want to be sure that you're training all of your capabilities, and training all of your capabilities, and training all of your capabilities, and not only within yourself, but your not only within yourself, but your not only within yourself, but your abilities to communicate with other abilities to communicate with other abilities to communicate with other people. people. people. >> Exactly. >> Exactly. >> Exactly. >> If If >> If If >> If If If there's a problem to solve, the first If there's a problem to solve, the first If there's a problem to solve, the first step is you have to imagine the step is you have to imagine the step is you have to imagine the solution.

solution. solution. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. Which requires creativity. Which requires creativity. Which requires creativity. >> Exactly. And it also means you've got to >> Exactly. And it also means you've got to >> Exactly. And it also means you've got to communicate your idea. communicate your idea. communicate your idea. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> So, if you become really awesome at at >> So, if you become really awesome at at >> So, if you become really awesome at at Let's say, for instance, just to think Let's say, for instance, just to think Let's say, for instance, just to think of something crazy. of something crazy. of something crazy. Uh let's say you want to live on a on Uh let's say you want to live on a on Uh let's say you want to live on a on another planet. another planet. another planet. You have to figure out how will you You have to figure out how will you You have to figure out how will you survive? Because humans aren't able to survive? Because humans aren't able to survive? Because humans aren't able to survive on every planet. So, you got to survive on every planet. So, you got to survive on every planet. So, you got to build a special habitat. Well, we're not build a special habitat. Well, we're not build a special habitat. Well, we're not We don't have those habitats right now. We don't have those habitats right now. We don't have those habitats right now. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> We are thinking about going and living >> We are thinking about going and living >> We are thinking about going and living at the moon, and then on to Mars, and at the moon, and then on to Mars, and at the moon, and then on to Mars, and who knows, further into the solar who knows, further into the solar who knows, further into the solar system. system. system. >> Wow. >> Wow. >> Wow. >> But we got to figure out how to survive. >> But we got to figure out how to survive. >> But we got to figure out how to survive. >> Right. >> Right. >> Right. >> We're doing a good job close to the >> We're doing a good job close to the >> We're doing a good job close to the Earth, Earth, Earth, but every time we go further and further but every time we go further and further but every time we go further and further away, we get less help from home. away, we get less help from home. away, we get less help from home. >> Right. >> Right. >> Right. >> So, what would your habitat on Mars look >> So, what would your habitat on Mars look >> So, what would your habitat on Mars look like? like? like? >> Right. >> Right. >> Right. >> So, we're trying to invite people to >> So, we're trying to invite people to >> So, we're trying to invite people to design your habitat. design your habitat. design your habitat. >> I see. >> I see. >> I see. >> And then send us a visual artwork or a >> And then send us a visual artwork or a >> And then send us a visual artwork or a short film communicating what you short film communicating what you short film communicating what you imagine.

imagine. imagine. >> Wow. >> Wow. >> Wow. >> Cuz Cuz >> Cuz Cuz >> Cuz Cuz First you imagine it, then you can build First you imagine it, then you can build First you imagine it, then you can build [music] it. [music] it. [music] it. >> Right. >> Right. >> Right. >> So, >> So, >> So, >> So, you have to think about the sciences >> So, you have to think about the sciences >> So, you have to think about the sciences because because because the gravitational pull is different on the gravitational pull is different on the gravitational pull is different on Mars versus Earth. Mars versus Earth. Mars versus Earth. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Different on the moon versus Earth. So, >> Different on the moon versus Earth. So, >> Different on the moon versus Earth. So, >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> how would gravity play a role in your >> how would gravity play a role in your >> how would gravity play a role in your habitat? habitat? habitat? >> So, gra- gra- it's going to depend where >> So, gra- gra- it's going to depend where >> So, gra- gra- it's going to depend where you are. So, if you're living in space, you are. So, if you're living in space, you are. So, if you're living in space, you basically have no gravity. We have 1 you basically have no gravity. We have 1 you basically have no gravity. We have 1 G here on Earth. G here on Earth. G here on Earth. Uh so, you're both basically floating. Uh so, you're both basically floating. Uh so, you're both basically floating. And uh and the interesting thing about And uh and the interesting thing about And uh and the interesting thing about that is in the absence of Earth's that is in the absence of Earth's that is in the absence of Earth's gravity, your fluids rise to your head gravity, your fluids rise to your head gravity, your fluids rise to your head and you offload your muscles and your and you offload your muscles and your and you offload your muscles and your bones. So, you your body has to adapt to bones. So, you your body has to adapt to bones. So, you your body has to adapt to that new world. And then let's say you that new world. And then let's say you that new world. And then let's say you float around for a year and then you go float around for a year and then you go float around for a year and then you go and you want to land on the planet Mars. and you want to land on the planet Mars. and you want to land on the planet Mars. Well, now there's not quite as much Well, now there's not quite as much Well, now there's not quite as much gravity. There There's 3/8 gravity. So, gravity. There There's 3/8 gravity. So, gravity. There There's 3/8 gravity. So, now you have some gravity, but not as now you have some gravity, but not as now you have some gravity, but not as much as at home. But you may have also much as at home. But you may have also much as at home. But you may have also lost a little muscle or bone while you lost a little muscle or bone while you lost a little muscle or bone while you were floating around were floating around were floating around >> Cuz you're not having to use it much.

>> Cuz you're not having to use it much. >> Cuz you're not having to use it much. >> So, you got to >> So, you got to >> So, you got to >> I see. Interesting things to think >> I see. Interesting things to think >> I see. Interesting things to think about. about. about. >> Um >> Um >> Um >> So, you can put that kind of >> So, you can put that kind of >> So, you can put that kind of that that little bit of science wisdom that that little bit of science wisdom that that little bit of science wisdom you just gave us into your habitat you just gave us into your habitat you just gave us into your habitat design. design. design. >> Well, one of the most fun things I've >> Well, one of the most fun things I've >> Well, one of the most fun things I've heard space architects talk about is heard space architects talk about is heard space architects talk about is you have more territory. you have more territory. you have more territory. >> Yeah, more territory >> Yeah, more territory >> Yeah, more territory to actually use in your habitat when you to actually use in your habitat when you to actually use in your habitat when you have less gravity. have less gravity. have less gravity. Like, you know, you normally we have to Like, you know, you normally we have to Like, you know, you normally we have to stand on the ground and then you reach. stand on the ground and then you reach. stand on the ground and then you reach. And if you're me, everything's just a And if you're me, everything's just a And if you're me, everything's just a little too high. Well, if I'm in reduced little too high. Well, if I'm in reduced little too high. Well, if I'm in reduced gravity or no gravity, I can just float gravity or no gravity, I can just float gravity or no gravity, I can just float up. up. up. >> I >> I >> I >> I can use the wall. I can use the >> I can use the wall. I can use the >> I can use the wall. I can use the ceiling. There is no floor. All surfaces ceiling. There is no floor. All surfaces ceiling. There is no floor. All surfaces >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> are fair game. So, you can design a >> are fair game. So, you can design a >> are fair game. So, you can design a habitat habitat habitat that's smaller, but you can use that's smaller, but you can use that's smaller, but you can use everything. everything. everything. >> Huh. >> Huh. >> Huh. >> It's pretty cool. >> It's pretty cool. >> It's pretty cool. >> It's like that >> It's like that >> It's like that uh uh uh >> It's a brain teaser. >> It's a brain teaser. >> It's a brain teaser. >> Yeah, just to think about there what >> Yeah, just to think about there what >> Yeah, just to think about there what what's the ceiling and what's the floor.

what's the ceiling and what's the floor. what's the ceiling and what's the floor. >> And um you know, our astronauts on the >> And um you know, our astronauts on the >> And um you know, our astronauts on the International Space Station International Space Station International Space Station they've they've learned how to live and they've they've learned how to live and they've they've learned how to live and work for half a year, sometimes a year. work for half a year, sometimes a year. work for half a year, sometimes a year. >> Right. >> Right. >> Right. >> in that environment. >> in that environment. >> in that environment. >> have been up there for What's the >> have been up there for What's the >> have been up there for What's the longest it's been? longest it's been? longest it's been? >> 25 years we've had an International >> 25 years we've had an International >> 25 years we've had an International Space Station. Space Station. Space Station. >> And how long has one person been there >> And how long has one person been there >> And how long has one person been there consecutively? consecutively? consecutively? >> The longest is around a year. >> The longest is around a year. >> The longest is around a year. >> A year? >> A year? >> A year? >> Most of them are about 6 months. >> Most of them are about 6 months. >> Most of them are about 6 months. >> So what's it like when they come back to >> So what's it like when they come back to >> So what's it like when they come back to Earth with 1G of gravity? Earth with 1G of gravity? Earth with 1G of gravity? >> So you are like I could have written >> So you are like I could have written >> So you are like I could have written these questions down for you. these questions down for you. these questions down for you. >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> [laughter] >> Um >> Um >> Um it's it's a it's actually potentially a it's it's a it's actually potentially a it's it's a it's actually potentially a challenge because when you change from challenge because when you change from challenge because when you change from one gravity environment to another one gravity environment to another one gravity environment to another >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> it kind of plays with your sense of >> it kind of plays with your sense of >> it kind of plays with your sense of balance and your sometimes you you feel balance and your sometimes you you feel balance and your sometimes you you feel like you're motion sick like you're motion sick like you're motion sick and you can't quite walk a straight line and you can't quite walk a straight line and you can't quite walk a straight line at first. Your your body has to adjust at first. Your your body has to adjust at first. Your your body has to adjust to the new gravity environment. to the new gravity environment. to the new gravity environment. >> Right. >> Right. >> Right. >> And so so there is an adjustment period >> And so so there is an adjustment period >> And so so there is an adjustment period when you first land.

when you first land. when you first land. So I don't know if you've ever seen So I don't know if you've ever seen So I don't know if you've ever seen anybody come out of a spacecraft, but anybody come out of a spacecraft, but anybody come out of a spacecraft, but they're a little bit tentative, you they're a little bit tentative, you they're a little bit tentative, you know, like like they don't want to upset know, like like they don't want to upset know, like like they don't want to upset their stomachs and you know their stomachs and you know their stomachs and you know >> Ain't that something? >> Ain't that something? >> Ain't that something? >> But you do recover. You just got to get >> But you do recover. You just got to get >> But you do recover. You just got to get used to it. used to it. used to it. >> Just acclimate just like when you get to >> Just acclimate just like when you get to >> Just acclimate just like when you get to Colorado and you're up a 14,000 foot Colorado and you're up a 14,000 foot Colorado and you're up a 14,000 foot mountain. mountain. mountain. acclimation acclimation acclimation So we have uh the designer habitat So we have uh the designer habitat So we have uh the designer habitat program going on right now. program going on right now. program going on right now. >> It's open. >> It's open. >> It's open. >> Super cool. >> Super cool. >> Super cool. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> There's >> There's >> There's uh a green screen booth right next door uh a green screen booth right next door uh a green screen booth right next door where we have some of of the people that where we have some of of the people that where we have some of of the people that have submitted some of the artwork. have submitted some of the artwork. have submitted some of the artwork. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And we put a window in their artwork and >> And we put a window in their artwork and >> And we put a window in their artwork and so you're doing this like green screen so you're doing this like green screen so you're doing this like green screen selfie where you're like actually on selfie where you're like actually on selfie where you're like actually on Mars. Mars. Mars. >> That is so cool. >> That is so cool. >> That is so cool. >> like inside this the habitat like >> like inside this the habitat like >> like inside this the habitat like outside the window of the habitat. It's outside the window of the habitat. It's outside the window of the habitat. It's pretty cool. pretty cool. pretty cool. >> We have had so much fun working with you >> We have had so much fun working with you >> We have had so much fun working with you guys at Creatopia. Just to be creative guys at Creatopia. Just to be creative guys at Creatopia. Just to be creative >> Right. Right. >> Right. Right. >> Right. Right. >> and come up with different things. Yes, >> and come up with different things. Yes, >> and come up with different things. Yes, that artwork actually came in through a that artwork actually came in through a that artwork actually came in through a project Mars competition where we project Mars competition where we project Mars competition where we challenged people to think about what's challenged people to think about what's challenged people to think about what's it going to be like to be the first it going to be like to be the first it going to be like to be the first human who lands on Mars.

human who lands on Mars. human who lands on Mars. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> And then with your guys' help, we've set >> And then with your guys' help, we've set >> And then with your guys' help, we've set it up so that people can do their own it up so that people can do their own it up so that people can do their own selfie in the window selfie in the window selfie in the window >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> on the surface of Mars and warm them up >> on the surface of Mars and warm them up >> on the surface of Mars and warm them up to thinking about what's it going to be to thinking about what's it going to be to thinking about what's it going to be like if if if I were to live and work in like if if if I were to live and work in like if if if I were to live and work in space space space >> Right. >> Right. >> Right. >> and what do I need to survive and don't >> and what do I need to survive and don't >> and what do I need to survive and don't forget thrive. forget thrive. forget thrive. If we live a long time in space If we live a long time in space If we live a long time in space >> You know, I think >> You know, I think >> You know, I think you're probably going to need a lot of you're probably going to need a lot of you're probably going to need a lot of Velcro. Velcro. Velcro. >> And Velcro is a big thing we use a lot >> And Velcro is a big thing we use a lot >> And Velcro is a big thing we use a lot already in space. [laughter] already in space. [laughter] already in space. [laughter] You know what? I think one of the You know what? I think one of the You know what? I think one of the challenges is is also making sure challenges is is also making sure challenges is is also making sure because you have so many extra places to because you have so many extra places to because you have so many extra places to leave your stuff. leave your stuff. leave your stuff. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> You have to be sure you don't lose track >> You have to be sure you don't lose track >> You have to be sure you don't lose track of your stuff. of your stuff. of your stuff. >> Right. >> Right. >> Right. >> So I don't know what it's like at your >> So I don't know what it's like at your >> So I don't know what it's like at your house. house. house. >> Just like cover the walls in Velcro. >> Just like cover the walls in Velcro. >> Just like cover the walls in Velcro. >> Yeah. Yeah. You put this here, put that >> Yeah. Yeah. You put this here, put that >> Yeah. Yeah. You put this here, put that there. Then you're like, "Where did I there.

It could be. But there is no >> Uh-huh. It could be. But there is no >> Uh-huh. It could be. But there is no ceiling. ceiling. ceiling. >> Exactly. >> Exactly. >> Exactly. >> For you, it's just another surface.

>> For you, it's just another surface. >> For you, it's just another surface. >> How funny. >> How funny. >> How funny. >> So it's super fun and >> So it's super fun and >> So it's super fun and >> Something to think about. >> Something to think about. >> Something to think about. >> And fun is also very important in the >> And fun is also very important in the >> And fun is also very important in the future in space. We've got to figure out future in space. We've got to figure out future in space. We've got to figure out not just how to survive but also are we not just how to survive but also are we not just how to survive but also are we going to play games in space? going to play games in space? going to play games in space? >> Of course. >> Of course. >> Of course. >> Are we going to make music in space? >> Are we going to make music in space? >> Are we going to make music in space? >> Of course. >> Of course. >> Of course. >> Um food is >> Um food is >> Um food is >> travel in space? >> travel in space? >> travel in space? >> Well, in inside the habitat, you know, >> Well, in inside the habitat, you know, >> Well, in inside the habitat, you know, it it works uh pretty pretty normally it it works uh pretty pretty normally it it works uh pretty pretty normally but you know, sound requires an but you know, sound requires an but you know, sound requires an atmosphere in order to travel. atmosphere in order to travel. atmosphere in order to travel. >> Right. >> Right. >> Right. >> But the surfaces of the planets in >> But the surfaces of the planets in >> But the surfaces of the planets in general have an atmosphere but you have general have an atmosphere but you have general have an atmosphere but you have to create your own atmosphere inside of to create your own atmosphere inside of to create your own atmosphere inside of a space vehicle. a space vehicle. a space vehicle. So So So >> Interesting. >> Interesting. >> Interesting. >> Yeah. So, it's uh I uh we we've also >> Yeah. So, it's uh I uh we we've also >> Yeah. So, it's uh I uh we we've also done some really cool things where we've done some really cool things where we've done some really cool things where we've taken some space data and transformed it taken some space data and transformed it taken some space data and transformed it into an audio-visual experience so that into an audio-visual experience so that into an audio-visual experience so that people can experience what it's like to people can experience what it's like to people can experience what it's like to be in space. be in space. be in space. And the interesting thing is that And the interesting thing is that And the interesting thing is that we had to do that transformation because we had to do that transformation because we had to do that transformation because there wouldn't have been sound just in there wouldn't have been sound just in there wouldn't have been sound just in the middle of black space except the middle of black space except the middle of black space except whatever your vehicle was creating or whatever your vehicle was creating or whatever your vehicle was creating or you were creating you were creating you were creating >> Mhm.

>> Mhm. >> Mhm. >> Interesting. >> Interesting. >> Interesting. >> Yeah. So, it's >> Yeah. So, it's >> Yeah. So, it's >> Something to think about. So, you can >> Something to think about. So, you can >> Something to think about. So, you can put like put like put like you're in designing your your lunar or you're in designing your your lunar or you're in designing your your lunar or Mars habitat Mars habitat Mars habitat >> Think about your >> Think about your >> Think about your >> going to transmit in a >> going to transmit in a >> going to transmit in a >> Yeah.

I mean, you can even if you're I mean, you can even if you're I mean, you can even if you're interested, somebody can even think interested, somebody can even think interested, somebody can even think about how are we going to grow food in about how are we going to grow food in about how are we going to grow food in space? space? space? Because you you in general we just bring Because you you in general we just bring Because you you in general we just bring most of it with us. most of it with us. most of it with us. And when we're close to Earth, we can And when we're close to Earth, we can And when we're close to Earth, we can take a ship and deliver fresh food. take a ship and deliver fresh food. take a ship and deliver fresh food. But if you're on Mars, you've either got But if you're on Mars, you've either got But if you're on Mars, you've either got to bring it or you got to grow it to bring it or you got to grow it to bring it or you got to grow it yourself. yourself. yourself.
