"  Last week a very special visitor came to the Popular Mechanics offices: Kari Byron, star of the Discovery Channel show MythBusters. During her tour, Byron enjoyed the crazy views\u2014standing against the glass walls, she looked straight down to the street below\u2014watched the PM staff build a PHEV-inspired jack-o&amp;#039;-lantern and checked out our enviable collection of power tools. &amp;quot;What do you do with all of these tools when you&amp;#039;re done with them?&amp;quot; she asked. &amp;quot;Seriously, you can send them to us.&amp;quot; (Sorry, Kari\u2014we usually give them to charities, like Habitat for Humanity.) Eventually, we sat down to talk about her new Science Channel show Head Rush, which airs every weekday at 4 pm.  Byron explained that Head Rush is an episode of MythBusters, but instead of commercials, she demonstrates various science experiments\u2014some that kids can do at home. It&amp;#039;s all part of an effort to get kids excited about STEM\u2014science, technology, engineering and mathematics. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re trying to get kids interested in those topics so that the pipeline of scientists and engineers doesn&amp;#039;t just dry up,&amp;quot; Byron said. &amp;quot;We want the kids to really get into it.&amp;quot; So far, it appears to be working. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve seen videos up on YouTube of kids doing some of our experiments!&amp;quot; she reported.  Check out the video below to find out Kari&amp;#039;s favorite Head Rush science experiment, how she tortures fellow MythBuster Tory Belleci, and what&amp;#039;s coming up on this season of MythBusters (hint: it involves making bug guts!).
