This episode of the man show features the guys trying to build solar robots out of a kit made for 8 years and up. Seems like a simple task for 2 guys way up from 8 years old.
But the task proves to be overwhelming for both of the hosts and in fact even with a degree in electrical engineering, Mr Dog Poop struggles to understand the basic component parts.
Of course that degree was back when TV's were made with vacuum tubes and houses were built with fuses and not circuit breakers. So he is a bit dated to understand modern technology.
And we can't forget about Jeff Macolino, his focus was all out on trying to assemble something that at least looked like a robot after Mr Dog Poop embarrassed him on the P51 broadcast when Jeff failed to complete the project.
But all was not lost on this episode, we got some laughs, learned some science and talked about the importance of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) in the development of children's minds. How TIKTOK is turning our kids into low esteem chickens that are ready to commit suicide because they don't wear the latest fashion or can't be as pretty as someone else.
The guys are promoting education and learning this week and hope their voices carry across the country and wake up parents that are not seeing the trends of their own kids.
If we want to save the country from failure, we need to start by educating the future minds with as much information as possible, the best understanding of problem solving and the tools they need to make their own decisions as adults.
STEM week on The Man Show Live will be a success if a few parents re-evaluate their children's education and make sure they are on the right track.
Young minds are so impressionable and what they see and lean with be with them for a life time.
Do you want their lifetime memories to be about sitting in their room playing video games and watching half naked girls on twitch? Or something more positive, like learning experiences they will benefit from on a daily basis?
Preserving food for the Zombie Apocalypse with a $25 Vacuum Packer Can a $25 vacuum sealer do the job. In this episode the guys manage to show their complete incompetence in operating a kitchen vacuum sealer. They just can't make it work. Is the the machine or the operators? It turns out, it was the operators and their stubborn man attitudes in failing to read the directions. Mr Dog Poop brings out a larger commercial type sealer and shows how it is done, man style. They try to preserve some severed hands, feet etc. But it looks like these guys need some help if either is going to survive the zombie apocalypse. Unless you can survive solely by drinking beer and being stupid. Since that is not likely, these guys may be SOL. But at least you can watch their incompetence live on The Man Show Monday through Friday ...read more
STEM Electric Piano - Assembly and Review Friday's episode of The Man Show Live featured a PLAYZ Piano made for kids. Our overall opinion of the PLAYZ Piano was that it was a bit simple for kids over 5 years old and maybe not dynamic enough for kids to learn about electronics. It was one of the more expensive toys during STEM week at around $35 which could have bought a little more education in other items. The white keys did play, but the black keys were only part of the case and decoration only, so as far as a piano, it missed the mark and is not a good learning tool for music. It can be a fun toy for a 3 year old, but at that age, the chance of them wiring it up is slim. We could not really find any good points about the PLAYZ ...read more
Soldering Motherboards for Kids OK, they are not really motherboards, they are just small printed circuit boards with simple projects for kids as part of our STEM week projects. These projects are typically under $10 and vary in scope and complexity. We tried a clock and a musical board. The first word I have to describe these is SMALL! Tiny parts, hard to read and difficult to understand, but isn't that the point? To challenge young minds with projects that make them think. Projects that build on deductive reasoning and get them off their phones for a few minutes a day. These simple projects and a less than $10 soldering iron will keep kids busy for hours. It is a good entry project into electrical engineering, helping kids understand basic components and how the boards are assembled. At one time back in the 70's you could walk into any ...read more
