The Energy Girl · Episode 4: Hydrokinetic energy + STEAM
Janine confronts her submechanophobia (fear of submerged man-made objects) in this discussion about hydrokinetic energy conversation — aka underwater turbines. The gal pals also talk about STEAM — Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math — and the intersections between their professions of engineering and performance art.

This piece is amazing ! Not only I learned about the hydroelectric energy, but the connection between science and liberal arts . The discussion at the end is particularly valuable.
