Miranda Cosgrove continues her mission to make STEM cool, this time with desert cats, robots, and the future of fashion. In the latest episode of Mission Unstoppable, Cosgrove introduces viewers to a group of scientists working to protect endangered felines. It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it.
But the feline focus isn’t the only thing on the agenda. Ever wonder why you see faces in clouds or on toast? This episode tackles the curious phenomenon of pareidolia – the tendency to perceive meaningful images in random patterns. It’s the reason why your car sometimes seems to be smiling (or frowning, depending on its mileage).
Then, the episode shifts gears to explore the surprisingly engaging world of Morse code robots. Who knew dots and dashes could be so much fun? This segment offers a hands-on look at robotics, demonstrating that STEM can be both educational and entertaining.
Finally, Mission Unstoppable tackles the issue of sustainability in the fashion industry. Viewers meet a textile engineer working on innovative fabrics that are both stylish and environmentally friendly. Move over, fast fashion!
Mission Unstoppable continues to be a solid entry in the educational programming landscape, offering a refreshing approach to STEM education. Cosgrove’s enthusiasm is infectious, and the show consistently presents scientific concepts in an accessible and engaging way. While it’s clearly aimed at a younger audience, the topics covered often prove surprisingly interesting for adults as well.
Mission Unstoppable Season 6 Episode 6 “Conserving Cats, Creating Faces and Crafting Robots” airs Saturday, November 9th at 10:00 AM on CBS.
