00:00Hi everyone, I'm Emily Calandrelli and you're watching Life Minute TV.
00:05I have a lot on the calendar right now.
00:06I'm going to be flying to space soon.
00:08That's something that I'm really excited about.
00:10So going to space, building rockets, this is all part of all of my passions and my dreams
00:15and I hope to give that gift of that dream to kids all around the country.
00:20I'm also launching my own YouTube series called Emily's Science Lab where we do these hands-on
00:26STEAM experiments and I show families how to do them at home.
00:30So this is my passion.
00:31This is my bread and butter.
00:32I love learning how to make these hands-on science experiments accessible for families
00:37so that parents who may not have a scientific background can feel comfortable doing these
00:43activities with their kids and building that science confidence in their kids.
00:48It's so important to ignite the STEAM curiosity in kids everywhere because in our world, science
00:55and technology is advancing at such a fast pace.
00:58It's such a fast pace and the challenges of the next generation are becoming so complex
01:03that we are going to need everybody's input, everybody's creative ideas to help solve the
01:08problems of the next generation.
01:11The challenge there is that skill and talent are everywhere but oftentimes opportunity
01:16is not and sometimes the way to bring that opportunity to more kids so that more kids
01:21see themselves in these fields is with hands-on STEAM experiments just like this one.
01:27And STEAM is so important to me, science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics
01:32because this is the language of the next generation.
01:35This is the language that our world is built on and we need kids to gain their confidence
01:40in STEAM so that they can be part of that world.
01:43I'm partnering with Arm & Hammer Baking Soda to help launch Baking Soda Rocket Day on October
01:4710th.
01:48We are going to be launching the most Baking Soda Rockets in a single day.
01:53We are partnering with 250 Title I schools across the country and each of these kids,
01:58each of these schools has received materials to build their very own Baking Soda Rocket
02:03and it's very basic materials.
02:05It's a two-liter bottle, pencils, duct tape, a cork and of course Arm & Hammer Baking Soda
02:10and vinegar.
02:11These hands-on science experiments, this is a way for kids to build their own confidence
02:16in themselves when it comes to science.
02:18It's a way for them to see themselves as a scientist or an engineer.
02:23I've seen firsthand, after kids do these hands-on science experiments, they will often say,
02:28I want to become a scientist when I grow up.
02:30I want to be an astronaut.
02:32And it takes that hands-on science experiment for them to see themselves in those fields.
02:38And so for any family who wants to participate in this and give that gift to their child,
02:43they can learn how to build their own Baking Soda Rocket and be part of Baking Soda Rocket
02:47Day at BakingSodaRocket.com.
02:50If you're building one of these Baking Soda Rockets, just be prepared that they are really
02:54powerful.
02:55They're more powerful than you think.
02:57And so once you flip them over, because you have bottle variety and cork variety, they
03:01can take anywhere between 30 seconds and 5 or 6 minutes to launch.
03:05And so once you flip it over, just trust that that pressure is building and building and
03:09building and do not touch it, do not move it.
03:11Just be patient and wait for the magic to happen.
