Bill Nye 'The Science Guy' says young people are increasingly interested in solving the world’s environmental problems, and investments in science education are needed to help support their innovations.
“Investment in science education is in everybody’s best interest,” Nye said in a television interview.
“My group and I wanted to make something that would benefit the environment and help create a better future for the youth today,” Angelov said. “People who are in school right now are very concerned about the environment. They're concerned about climate change,” Nye said from Washington, D.C. on Friday, where he noted that smoke from climate change-induced wildfires was palpable in the air.Nye stressed the importance of investing in science education to help encourage students to pursue STEM careers.
“We have to make it worth it. The physics teacher at the public high school has to be paid enough money where he or she decides to pursue that instead of private industry,” Nye said. “This sounds like common sense, but it's been argued about my whole life. That’s something we can do in order to enable that sort of thinking.”Kathy Andrejowich, Angelov’s teacher, said it was “incredible” watching her students tackle the fungi fabrics project.
