Ders 10: Linda Jeschofnig - Hands On Labs'in KurucularındanBüyük Bir Boom! Yerine, Puf! Yaratma
Fen Bilimleri eğitimine olan tutkusu Linda Jeschognig'in muhasebe alanındaki kariyerini, hayatının ileri noktalarında girişimci olarak devam ettirmesini sağladı. Jeschognig, Hands-on Laboratuvarları'nın arkasındaki ilhamı ve üniversite kimya öğrencilerine hidroklorik asit, kobalt nitrat ve diğer tehlikeli maddeleri içeren setler gönderme amacıyla kurulan bir şirkette yaşanan zorluklarla nasıl başa çıkıldığını anlatıyor. Jeschognig yolunda ilerlerken desteğini artırmayı başardı ve girişimcilik yolunda ilerleyen diğer kadınlara ulaşarak onlara da rehberlik yaptı. Orijinal video Kauffman Foundation tarafından hazırlanmıştır.

Video açıklaması
my name is Linda you're shortening my company is hands-on labs and we produce science lab packs that are used by college students so that they can take their science courses fully online when you're doing science experiments the objective is the reaction not the size of the reaction i like to say you only need a poof to understand gas law you don't have to have a giant kaboom you don't need to have huge beakers of chemicals when small quantities will work to see whether or not there is a physical change in the chemicals so by applying these concepts we are doing the same types of experiments on a much smaller scale this makes it possible for students to do campus equivalent lab work at home I was compelled to make a business out of it the big obstacles were to find someone who could manufacture them for me and liability insurance if you're putting together a hundred chemistry kits and they have over 60 chemicals in them you're looking at over 6,000 little individual packages these kids are not toys they truly do replicate what students do on campus and you can imagine if you go talk to an insurance agent and you tell them that you need business insurance because you're sending hydrochloric acid to students in their homes and they run screaming away but i found an insurance agent who had actually been a chemistry major in college who was familiar with small-scale and microscale chemistry he had no problem with ensuring us today we produce science lab packs for colleges in every state in the u.s. in spanning not just chemistry but also biology geology physics microbiology and anatomy and physiology they're used by a lot of nursing programs and even forensics and environmental sciences we've been doing this for 18 years have a 100-percent safety record and I think most importantly the students have proven that they can and they will take responsibility for their own learning that they can do real science work at home I really am passionate about science education science teach you rational skepticism and dissuade magical thinking and it just lays a pattern for problem solving that I think will aid almost anyone in living a more successful life because they'll make better decisions
