Unfortunately, our hero’s troubles are just beginning. David drops to one knee and catches an incoming broom just in the nick of time. “Look at that! Something’s falling right outta the sky!” he shouts gesturing up as the wind whirls. The video clip starts with upbeat, fast-talking David ( played by Northern Calloway) exiting Hooper’s store, struggling to make his way through powerful gusts of wind. As it turns out, even "Sesame Street" isn’t impervious to a wayward witch broom. What on earth could be so scary in a place where the air is so sweet, you might wonder.
Most of us would have probably never known this had it not been for the power of the internet.Īn entire episode of the beloved children’s show has resurfaced online after being initially pulled for allegedly being “too frightening” for kiddie viewers.
Once upon a time, in the mid 1970s, "Sesame Street" traded its bright, sunny atmosphere for ominous gray skies. In addition to STEM learning, FIRST encourages the development of teamwork and soft skills, which are essential qualities to enhance from a young age,” he told Upworthy. “I think other parents should definitely consider having their child participate in FIRST. “By participating in STEM, today’s girls and women will inspire future generations to do the same until we are no longer a minority.”Īfzaa’s father, Mujib Jinnah, encourages other parents to involve their children in the program, too. “It’s important that we leave our mark and continue to make meaningful contributions to STEM fields,” she said. She hopes that being part of FIRST will inspire other girls to do the same. “The Zebracorns have a special place in my heart as they have provided me with a community of individuals who stood by my side, willing to assist, support, encourage and motivate me in my endeavors,” she told Upworthy. After high school, she hopes to pursue a degree in biomedical engineering. It’s a big reason why FIRST students are better prepared for STEM careers than those who’ve only studied the subject in school (that is, if they even have access to STEM education in their school).Īfzaa Rahman has been a FIRST student for seven years as a member of the Durham, North Carolina-based Zebracorns. This provides the invaluable experience of working with positive role models who’ve made STEM their life’s work.

When the students hit a roadblock, they can get help from adult mentors with either educational or professional experience in STEM fields. It encourages them to experiment and attempt new iterations until the robot works. They are given a kit of materials with limited instructions. When each annual FIRST season begins, student teams are assigned a sport-like challenge, typically themed around a critical global issue like recycling, transportation or energy, and are asked to build a robot that can compete in that challenge. Problem-solving is an important goal of engineering and FIRST inspires students to stretch the limits of their innovation and imagination to reach their goals.
