The Boston Globe reports that MIT, in another venture to stimulate student interest in STEM subjects, is creating a video series entitled "ChemLab Boot Camp," styled after reality TV show models; the show is designed to humanize scientists and showcase the "messy," creative nature of applied science. Another MIT group, assisted by funding from the Gates Foundation, is working on a new on-line game called "The Radix Endeavor," where a villain named Cyril attempts to keep all scientific knowledge to himself; players must solve problems with math and science knowledge. http://articles.boston.com/2012-09-03/business/33547143_1_online-games-high-school-students-show-teens/2
