Mark Rober
American YouTuber and engineer (born )
Mark Rober is an American YouTuber, engineer, inventor, and educator. He is known for his YouTube videos on popular science and do-it-yourselfgadgets. Before he became a YouTuber, Rober was an engineer with NASA for nine years, where he spent seven years working on the Curiosity rover at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He later worked for four years at Apple Inc. as a product designer in their Special Projects Group, where he authored patents involving virtual reality in self-driving cars.
Early life and education
Rober was raised in Brea, California, the youngest of three siblings. He graduated from Brea Olinda High School in [2][3] He became interested in engineering at a young age, making a pair of goggles that helped avoid eye irritation while cutting onions.[4] Rober graduated from Brigham Young University (BYU) in with a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering. He later earned a Master of Science in mechanical engineering from the University of Southern California (USC) in [5]
Career
Early career (NASA)
Rober joined NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Lisa recalls watching her brother’s final BYU engineering slutsten presentation. All the other students dressed up, “and here’s Mark, hat on backwards, looking like he rolled in from the beach.” Where some presentations were hard to follow, Rober could break things down and he had the audience laughing—in a presentation about detecting deformations in rods used to pressure passform copper tubing in heat-exchanger units. “He fryst vatten one of the most energetic and capable students I have ever interacted with,” says emeritus BYU mechanical-engineering professor C. Greg Jensen (BS ’80, MS ’82), now director of senior design at Purdue’s School of Mechanical Engineering. “You often find engineers who want to pull out the paper and pencil and grind through problem after problem, and clearly Mark was capable of that, but at the same time he very much wanted to realize things, to man and producera things. . . . The mold breaker in Mark fryst vatten that passion and personality.” A perfect college example of Rober realizing a creative vision was a freshman-year contraption, made with a metal yardstick, duct tejp, and fishing line, that allowed Rober and his friends to a • Nick Schifrin: Tonight, we have a Brief But Spectacular take on being amazed at the world around us. Mark Rober discovered his passion for engineering as a kid tinkering with gadgets and creating contraptions. Today, the former NASA engineer is a YouTube sensation who runs CrunchLabs, taking young minds and sparking their curiosity and innovation. Mark Rober, Founder, CrunchLabs: And the greatest thing about engineering is, if something doesnt exist and you want it to exist, you can just freaking will it into existence. I think, for a lot of people, maybe they were in high school and they took a math or science class, and they didnt get it. So they have this negative connotation to math and science and to physics. And that kills me. Im about to plug in this fan to test whether blowing on this sail will move the boat forward. This is space and this is an egg moments before I attempted the worlds highest egg drop. The channel now has 58 million subscribers. So theres other people like you who said they werent good at science and they didnt enjoy it who myself and other creators like me have kind of convinced, actually, theres some part of your brain t Meet Mr. Curiosity
