I’ve tested it. It runs pretty well. The challenge will be getting the light zapper to run on a LCD TV.

Actually, Iron Man does have a theme in the movies. However, you have to watch the DVD extras (like me) or be a hard core Marvel fan to pick up on it. The theme is based on the 1966 cartoon.

I bought an original NES last month at Goodwill for $10. I’m looking forward to playing some of my favorites with fresh eyes.

There are plenty of opportunities in the community to expose kids to STEM activities. The community college where I teach has a week long robotics camp during the summers.

It is important to remember that with movies like Tomorrowland, the target audience is not the same as Fury Road. I often feel like we adults have the same expectations…

The bowling pins sound effect took me out of the scene more than the bad CGI.

The curriculum is here. Also, science fiction is part of a Humanistic Studies major.
