and welcome to my living room here in California.

We've got about seven rolls of toilet paper left

We obviously can't do Hello World like we normally would,

We thought we'd try to take this challenge as an opportunity

to take all our viewers on kind of a trip around the world

to see what different inventors and scientists

The first place we're gonna head to is New Zealand.

I've got a friend there named Michelle Dickinson,

So, off we go to New Zealand first to meet Michelle.

and I am a nanotechnologist having worked in the tech sector

And a couple of years ago I decided to quit my hardware job

and move to helping educate kids and parents

about science and technology, and get more kids involved

who might not see themselves as scientists or engineers.

We were a company who traveled around the world

and our school teacher training programs.

So, this hits, and your business has to change.

"We've never done online teaching before.

And they said, "The thing we're gonna drop first is STEM,"

They said, "That's too hard for us to do online."

"How can we help provide something to kids

"to help them build their confidence in STEM?"

that basically helps kids build their science superpowers.

This week, the superpower I'm trying to get

is the power to fight baddies like viruses, yuck.

I saw some of the first lessons were about COVID,

what is it, and making your own special soap

We said, "Well, if you make the Superpower Soap

"where it's got that superhero sticker in it,

"they'll get super powers every time they touch this soap."

And parents have said literally the kids love their soap,

Our kids, actually they've sort of accepted all this

really well, I feel like, but it is, it's nuts.

And you're lucky Ashlee, right, 'cause you're tech savvy.

But there are millions of parents around the world

and they go back to their 13-year-old fearful self

of a Bunsen burner and a Petri dish when we talk about it.

And so, we're all about how do we empower those people,

those people who haven't touched science for 40 years,

maybe, to be able to have these conversations about viruses.

And how you transfer it, and what they actually are,

and what they could do without it being too fearful.

Because we understand when we're talking to kids

we've got to help them understand that it's serious,

that they become petrified of everything.

So nanogirllabs.com is how you basically find it.

We're on all of the channels, social, you name it.

just press the I can't afford to do this button

It seemed like you were educating people about COVID.

I guess New Zealand has been slightly behind the COVID curve

in that we've got to watch other countries do their thing
