WHY DO THIS SERIES?
How Will This Series
Be Like Others?
Expedition Unknown but with S.T.E.A.M. instead of Archeology
Bill Nye Saves the World but S.T.E.A.M. solutions instead of science issues
Mythbusters, it will reach a wider audience since it is bilingual as well as making science more accessible.
Planet Earth because it focuses on future and tech.
How Will This Series
Be Different?
What Gap/Void
In The Current Content Ecosystem Does It Intend To Fill?
STEAM covers a wide range of careers that conquer everyday things from video games to windmills to Artificial Intelligence. People are intrigued to learn and follow along with how the world is changing, and STEAM partakes in a large part of that. We would fill the void of the unknown and replace it with the endless possibilities. People would see firsthand companies across the world contributing to our tomorrow.
We hope with this series that we not only provide an interesting educational series but also inspiring content to encourage upcoming generations to pursue STEAM careers.
What Makes It Unique
For Being A Bilingual Program
(As Opposed To Just Spanish Subtitles)
There are not many programs out there that are truly bilingual. There are subtitles or voice-overs, but very limited bilingual content.
This documentary style series will offer a unique insight for Adults to see STEAM projects and be made available to several American and Latin American television and streaming programs.
Our Targeted Audience Range: 13-50
Topics Unbound Journeys Will Cover
Space
“NASA Mars journey, who will be the next wave of astronauts?
Are we escaping our responsibility as humanity in preserving earth? Or are we using colonization as a tool to enhance our human experience for those on earth and those who will explore Mars?
Are we creating technology that is available to everyone, or do we remain guarded with new findings? Would Mars colonization’s technology also be providing benefits to earth?
Humanizing Space; How will humans interact, make love and establish society in colonies? Are there going to be hierarchies, outcasts, out groups etc.… Will religion, spirituality and family find a foothold in this new frontier?
In order to understand the process of colonizing Mars; we should first understand why we must protect and preserve Earth.”
