       This college senior juggles school and a    jobwith NASA like it's no big deal Tiera Guinn hasn’t graduated college yet but she’s already working on projects for NASA. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology senior has worked as a rocket structural design and analysis engineer since June 2016. She designs rocket components for ventures to Mars and other deep space destination, and analyzes them to ensure they won’t break during flight. She’s living out a dream she’s had since she was 11 years old. Guinn remembers seeing a plane and wanting to know how to build one. “I’d had a passion to become a mathematician, inventor — everything you can think of under STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), but when I looked at the plane, I wanted to do that,” Guinn tells USA TODAY College. “I got stuck on that.” That interest sparked her desire to study aerospace engineering, which led to her current role.

All three YouTubers used skills they learned while in college to their advantage. Goetze says her communication, computer science, management science and engineering classes at Stanford University helped her achieve success. “I’ve designed my course load such that the classes that I’m taking are focused on this really unique and fast-changing intersection between business and media marketing and digital and content creation,” Goetze says. “So I feel like everything I’m learning in the classroom is actually being applied to my everyday life because, in my free time, I’m actively participated in that space and I’m generating content and I’m engaging with the types of people that I’m learning about in the classes.” Reneau says she “took things that I learned from Harvard (University) and I applied them to my videos. For example, I

                           Reverse Engineering Poetry   This spring, Israeli programmer, poet, and new media artist Eran Hadas will be teaching at Caltech as an artist-in-residence through the Israel Institute. Hadas, who is based in Tel Aviv, combines poetry and computer science, creating software that writes poetry and text with input from the Internet. His Wikipedia entry describes him as "an Israeli poet, software developer, new media artist, and the author of seven books"—a set of titles he embraces. "I always joke that I consider myself a poet, but in order to be taken seriously, other people should consider me as a software developer," Hadas laughs. "I once heard the saying, 'Poetry is the R&D department of humanity.' I wish to augment it to 'the R&D department of post-humanity,' but at the core of either is the decision to step out of our particular selves and raise questions about our being." Hadas will be
