S2E3: Winter Wonders: The Science of Snow and Circuits

What do snowflakes, sensors, and robotics all have in common? More than you think.

In this cozy but curiosity-packed winter episode, rookie hosts Faiz and Hannah explore how STEM shows up everywhere in winter — from the microscopic geometry of snowflakes to the very real challenges cold weather creates for robots and electronics.

You’ll hear about:❄️ The science behind snowflakes and crystallography🔋 Why batteries, motors, and sensors struggle in the cold🤖 Canadian innovations designed for winter environments🎄 Creative ways to mix coding, electronics, and holiday design⚙️ How engineers adapt technology for extreme cold😂 Light engineering humour and real-world robotics insight

Faiz and Hannah also share what they’ve heard from veteran team members about winter robotics challenges, upcoming competitions, and how engineers plan ahead when temperatures drop.

Whether you’re a student, mentor, STEM fan, or just curious how technology survives a Canadian winter, this episode connects science, creativity, and robotics in a way that’s informative, accessible, and fun.
