On the June 2016 edition of It Ain't Rocket Science, Time Warner Cable's monthly STEM roundup:

  • In California, we look back at the history of space travel as the U.S. holds it first ever National Astronaut Day, and we find out what’s next for the space agency.
  • We head to the culminating event of the World Science Festival in New York City, where participants can check out the latest cutting-edge technology and see the stories behind famous scientific discoveries told on the stage.
  • In Wisconsin, it’s the championship round of the Rube Goldberg Machine Contest, where winning teams must complete a simple task in the most complicated way possible.
  • In New York, we turn our focus to the natural sciences, learning what it takes to rescue, rehab, and release injured wild animals.
  • We meet an 11-year-girl from Texas who is using technology to run her own nationwide business that’s also lending a helping hand to honeybees.
