Hosted by Jonah Ray.
Welcome the first show that proves how exciting, hilarious, and sometimes dangerous, homegrown science can be. Joe Genius turns the spotlight on some of the best science videos online, from dry ice bombs to robot musicians, and explain why they work...or more often than not, why they don't. Read More
The Joe Geniuses in this thrilling episode may not have the budget or real estate to create amusement park mega-coasters and slides, but these crafty amateurs use their knowledge of speed, acceleration, and friction to build their own backyard attractions.
It's time for Joe Genius: Where backyard science goes BIG TIME. Joe Genius highlights home-grown Einsteins who experiment, tinker, and yes, blow stuff up in the name of science. And it's all caught on camera! Join Jonah Ray as he whizzes through these geniuses' most epic failures and thrilling successes -- and of course, the science behind it all.
The folks in these videos don't need to make a trip to the local theme park to get some roller coaster thrills. Instead they bring the science to their own backyard!
