NBC Learn, the educational arm of NBC News, has teamed up with the National Science Foundation (NSF) to produce http://www.nbclearn.com/Olympics, Science of the Olympic Winter Games, a 16-part video series that explores the science behind individual Olympic events, including Downhill and Aerial Skiing, Speed and Figure Skating, Curling, Hockey, Ski Jumping, Bobsledding, and Snowboarding.This groundbreaking project between the NSF and NBC Learn uses the global spotlight of the Olympics to make science more accessible and more interesting to students by showing how science helps athletes fulfill the Olympic motto: Citius, Altius, Fortius — Swifter, Higher, Stronger. As part of the project, NBC Learn interviews athletes, coaches, and scientists in this original 16-part series, and unravels the physics, biology, chemistry, and materials engineering behind the Olympic Winter Games.
