here are some Youtube videos I’ve helped make to help promote engineering and other stuff I love.

• Play !: I often do public speaking  on the importance of Play.
  • here’s a short vid on some science play i did with ogilvy https://youtu.be/AnjFgSvj3vU 
  • here’s a tedx talk i did 2 years ago on the importance of play ..  https://youtu.be/I-NT1-BdOvI
  • Here’s a piece on play and science i did with Ryan  Miller of the band Guster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J1z7dzZzp8
  • And a lame attempt at rapping (I’m so embarrassed)  here.. 
• in 2009 I costarred in a Discovery Channel technical reality show called “The Colony” 10 of us spent 59 days locked in a warehouse in LA. While the unscripted show was pretty goofy, it did have lots of maker content. I was called “john c” or “the professor” and was responsible for most of the shows more technical builds. The show did well on TV and has been in reruns for several years. . However lame the show was, I still get a huge amount of pleasure from the many emails and city street ids where folks tell me they dug the technical content of the show . I was also invited back to the shows second (and final) season as a technical advisor. The second season was really, really lame 🙂
