Simone Giertz makes a delightful YouTube channel wherein she designs and builds self-proclaimed “shitty robots.” Earlier today, TED Talks posted her talk from April of this year. It’s wonderful example of her work and enthusiasm, and explains why we shouldn’t be afraid to fail. As per the TED standard, it’s heartfelt, inspirational, and a lot of fun.
It’s hard to talk about Ms. Giertz now without also mentioning that since her TED talk, she has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. And her surgery is planned for the end of this month. Despite her diagnosis she’s quite positive, which only further endears her in my heart—and there aren’t a lot of YouTuber’s that I feel that way about. Now is probably a good time to join her Patreon.
