SPX13 Math is Universal

Scared of Math? there's an app for that. STEMBoT takes on a new voice. Joe and Michael discuss math and basketball, how kids are reaping the benefits of math as it's used in coding, how we use math every day and don't realize it, and more.

We use new Software for this one!  We are excited to be using Davinci Resolve.
