For me, invention always starts with a question. Sometimes the answer becomes a machine, sometimes a story. Either way, curiosity is the engine.

Looking for a weird and wonderful session at #STEMEcosystems2025? Join Steph and I for “Following Curiosity a candid conversation about how questions can lead to machines, inventions, community, and movements. Let’s explore how we build what doesn’t yet exist!

Curiosity is a compass, not a map. It won’t tell you where to go, only which way feels alive ✨

Isaac and Stephanie Budmen and their students from the @keenancenterlmc dive into the transformative power of curiosity and how it drives education. Listen anytime ➡️ bit.ly/3Z8xDDq #WCNY #CommunityFM #InnovatetoEducate #Podcast

Very excited that @ThinkVariant is working with Blueflite to build the next generation of drones in CNY! #RustBelt #21stCenturyManufacturing --geniusny.com/genius-ny-gran…

Question: Does the resolution of our tools set the boundary for understanding ourselves and the universe? #spark #startwithquestions

5. We have barely scratched the surface of VR interfaces. There is a ton of room for innovation in this arena, not just input but output too. Sensory feedback like temperature changes and smells that trigger in response to virtual events could push VR immersion even further.

4. E-sports are about to be A LOT more competitive. As omni-directional VR treadmills + on-body sensors get better they will allow physical movements like sprinting, jumping and crawling to enter game play. The best athletes will find the most difficult physical challenges in VR.
