1. Andy Weir: The Martian

January 27, 2021 Authors

The very first episode of The STEM Class Podcast features Andy Weir, author of The Martian and motion picture featuring Matt Damon.

Andy talks about what it was like writing his very first book, The Martian, which took almost 10 years to write- and knowing whatever else he did would never be as big The Martian; the only 1 thing in the movie that might not be accurate but everything else could occur someday; and his thoughts on teaching STEM in the classroom.
