STEMAIVERSE

One person. One drawing. A 3D human anatomy explorer you can spin around in a browser.

The developer goes by The Bugged Dev. They built it with three.js and GPT 5.6, and said they had wanted for ages to make something genuinely useful. On Sunday Greg Brockman, the president of OpenAI, shared it. It has passed 830,000 views.

We did not build this. We are just big fans of it, and it is a clean example of what we look for before we start anything of our own:

Skills industry is actually hiring for.
Something a teacher can really use, not just admire.
Something students will open without being asked.

Three out of three.

Tag someone who would have learned biology a lot faster with this.

One Minute Mission, week one. 💜

You are holding your breath right now. What actually forces you to breathe again?

The obvious answer is wrong. Have a go before you look it up, and drop one word in the comments.

We will post the answer tomorrow morning, and there is a reason this one matters more than it sounds, particularly if there is a pool or a beach anywhere in your summer.

Send it to someone in the family and see who gets there first.

Chris Williams came home on Sunday.

241 days off the planet. 3,856 orbits. 102 million miles.

Sit with that middle number for a second, because there is a lesson hiding in it. 3,856 orbits across 241 days works out at about 16 laps of Earth every single day. One sunrise every 45 minutes or so. And to keep that up you have to be moving somewhere near 17,600 miles per hour, the whole time, for eight months straight.

That is the thing about space. You do not need to be a scientist to check it. You need a number, a question, and about ninety seconds.

Here is ours for you. He travelled 102 million miles without going anywhere. How would you explain that to a ten year old?

Nine days ago, Starship counted its engines, found 29 of 33 lit, and stopped its own launch at T-0.

We teach students what AI can do. We rarely teach them what it looks like when a system is built to say no.

Building something that refuses to run is harder than building something that runs.

While you were asleep, students on the other side of the world kept building.

That is how The New Earth Project works. One shared Minecraft world, passed from country to country for 24 hours straight. Students design the habitats, solve the problems and keep each other's work alive.

The next build day is coming, and schools can join. The link is in the first comment.

Parents, here's a sign of where school is heading. One of New York's biggest university systems just made AI literacy a required subject for every new student, starting this fall.

Not "how to use a chatbot". How to question one. Spotting bias, protecting your data, knowing when the machine gets it wrong.

Today's high schoolers are the first class this applies to. So the real question for every family: is your kid's school teaching AI judgment yet?

We wrote up what an "AI-ready" school actually looks like, in plain English:

AI literacy is becoming mandatory — is your school ready? SUNY just made AI literacy mandatory for every incoming student. Here's what that signal means for K-12 schools — and how to get ahead of it.

Nope, that's not an alien jellyfish over the California coast — that's real physics.

On July 10, a SpaceX Falcon 9 launched a batch of Starlink satellites from Vandenberg — and lit up the pre-dawn sky with a glowing, jellyfish-shaped cloud. Here's the actual explanation: the rocket's exhaust (water v***r and CO2) freezes into ice crystals at high altitude, and those crystals scatter the pre-sunrise sunlight into that huge glowing shape.

No filters. No CGI. Just what happens when you launch something fast enough, high enough, at exactly the right moment before dawn.

This is the kind of "wait, why does that happen?" question we live for at STEMAIVERSE — real phenomena, real explanations, zero boring.

National news walked into our workshop this week.

Arab News just covered the Future Innovator Challenge — the program our team is delivering right now at Effat University in Jeddah. Three days, students aged 12 to 18, and a schedule worth signing up for: AI ethics debates, rocket builds with real flight-performance data, hologram construction, a live Q&A with a NASA astronaut, and a Mars landing challenge to cap it all off.

Our founder, Damien Aldridge, told the reporter the same thing we keep telling everyone: we have a huge waiting list for this event. Parents, students, schools. We didn't have to convince anyone the demand was there — we just had to open the doors.

None of this happens alone. Space Prize Foundation sponsors the program, Effat University is hosting us all week, and our team delivers it. It works because all three do their part.

And the week ending isn't the story ending. Twenty of these students advance to stage two — an innovation video challenge — and four top innovators will be honored at the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh this October. We'll be watching every one of them.

We'd love to bring this opportunity to more communities across the US and the MENA region. If that's your community, our inbox is open.
