Project For Awesome - Sleeping Children Around The World

"Sophia asked for a bedkit for Christmas in addition to a toy from Santa. I am beaming with pride :) I have decided to upload this video again without the Ready For Bed Week information so that it can stand alone as a video for the charity. (And for the vlogbrothers Project 4 Awesome :) I know you've seen it already but please rate and comment. I will be making an new version today, if Sophia is willing after she comes home from school. Or else I'll upload it later :) Thank you for spreading the word on this wonderful charity!! (Hm. Making a new one for today would be redundant. Maybe I'll hold off on that )


For more information please visit: http://scaw.org or their Youtube channel http://youtube.com/scawweb


A Canadian Charity providing bedkits to kids in underdeveloped countries around the world who sleep on the floor. A bedkit cost $35 and 100% of the money goes to what is inside the bedkit for the child. There are no administration fees and is completely run by VOLUNTEERS!! That is what makes this charity so wonderful!!

BBC: Visions of the Future: The Intelligence Revolution. Hosted by Michio Kaku

Visions of the Future: The Intelligence Revolution. 1st part of 3 part miniseries on the BBC hosted by Michio Kaku. In this new three-part series, leading theoretical physicist and futurist Dr Michio Kaku explores the cutting edge science of today, tomorrow, and beyond. He argues that humankind is at a turning point in history. In this century, we are going to make the historic transition from the 'Age of Discovery' to the 'Age of Mastery', a period in which we will move from being passive observers of nature to its active choreographers. This will give us not only unparalleled possibilities but also great responsibilities. 

Robots compete to save dolls in distress

Modular robot reassembles when kicked apart

A robot developed by roboticists at the University of Pennsylvania is made of modules that can recognise each other.

Robots with a mind of their own!

Scientists are now building a new kind of robot capable of self-assembly and doing tasks too difficult or too dangerous for human beings.
