Women in STEAM 👩‍🔬 | Zarna Garg: One in a Billion 

Just surprised how many people don’t have a sense of humour🤷🏻‍♀️ snowflake generation

Still not funny

@@pracheesolanki she literally is an artist

It is weird that this has to be explained! And weird that people are acting like there are no Asian Moms like the one she portrays! 🤦‍♀️

​@@pracheesolanki that's what your friends tell you too!

Hey, We have to have art in the world and beauty. Not everyone is good at pottery. Can she make a living doing it is the question. Does she have what it takes to throw pots all day long and then go out and sell them at different places or have a studio/sales shop and run the business end of it also to be able to make a living? Can she teach it and make a living? She has to be realistic and she has to be motivated. If she can't do these things on her own and follow through on all of them, she needs to find another way to make a living and do pottery on the side for extra money. I wanted to be an artist when I was in high school. My senior year, a lady started calling me from a local business college trying to get me to enroll. She told me to do my artwork on the side. I went to business college and it's one of the best things I ever did. I made a great living for 29 years as a legal secretary. And I never did pursue the artwork. It's still on the back of my mind and I would still like to do things, but now I have a house full of kitty cats and they seem to take up all of my time and I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life. Please talk to your daughter about these things and get her to look at her strengths and her weaknesses and realistically look at these things that I have said above here.

dumb question but how else do you learn pottery except take classes?

​@jotarokujo806 somewhere where tuition is cheaper than 80k

Babes she was just playing dumb. Her daughter is studying "ceramics" as in ceramic coating on aerospace machines. Nothing to do with pottery whatsoever

no one said pottery. its ceramics.

😂😂😂

I love this 😭😭

the A stands for antics

Thats what ive been saying but no one listens. Glad someone agrees 😂

lol

ha ha ha actually she is

Oh my it's sarcasm.

She isn't dumb enough like those idiots who pay $60,000 for a degree to do "Arts"

Fr, I know she's in on the joke, but half of these comments... All the same people who say "the arts are stupid, STEM is the future, just learn coding, nobody should expect a job in the arts!" Then they turn around to watch a movie or TV show, play a video game, read a book, which all requires writing, design, performing, etc. Everyone digs on the arts yet want entertainment.

Yeah comedy pokes fun at things but it’s not meant to be taken personally. I’m guessing she respects the arts because she is in a creative field herself. The problem with being so sensitive is that it really leaves no relatable real content for comedians like herself to thrive. It’s meant to make people laugh and forget about their hard day. I respect the art industry and I think there are a lot of ways to build a career in it especially now with the technology we have. But I still think this is funny and relatable. Because she is playing a persona that is very relatable to anyone from an Asian/ Indian culture. And I would dare say any American culture where your parents grew up in poverty and want you to purse to a more “stable” career.

sounds like an artist got their feelings hurt hahaha

Tru

Ahh culture 🤌

Hahahahahaha

In my country, there is a sliding scale of gayness where civil engineering is the straightest, architecture is in the middle, and interior design is the gayest

​@@nothingposted9056I think that's just the general stereotype. And it's correct. Signed, a proud queer who loves designing houses in the Sims and doll houses.

Wow, you just made a successful counter argument. Awesome 👏👏👏👏👏👏

*My husband and I Something tells me you’re not an engineer 🤔

yes i know many BA MA graduates i know very well what is level of their problem solving skills 😂😂even i am from engineering background have more knowldege about humanit. than them😂

It really depends if they combine it with something. My friend only took art in high school then went to a design school and she is abysmal in anything technical. I wouldn't trust her to make any decisions or problem solving. But you always see my soft dev teacher really excited when someone comes in with an art background so he can grow their tech skills. But I mean he's biased but not blind, the ones that perform the best aren't the ones with art backgrounds. You can have something aesthetic but non-functional. If all you have is vision, you're kinda doomed. If Art is going to be included in STEM then they have to know the foundations like everyone else. For example, someone in E knows the fundamentals in ST and M. It wouldn't be fair otherwise.

Yeah for all the CEO positions that Indian seem to take and the great volume of tech work that goes in India the big ideas rarely have come from there - esp in IT since the boom took off. Whereas some definitely have come from here from us. But belittling the arts is a much more serious issue. Not only will it lead if loss of creativity and beauty but also leads STEM efforts into purposeless pursuit threatening humanity - so AI and other efforts necessarily need to be bounded and overseen by the heart and cannot be driven by left sided brain.

​@@momiji7789on the other hand, look at the droves of so- called "engineering graduates" coming out of Indian universities with no knowledge of basic math or engineering, let alone the humanities. I have seen plenty of Indians in the tech sector who cannot solve even basic problems, or think outside the box . What they can do is copy paste..😂

Lol artists don’t build technology.

Okay, that doesn’t really matter though. Here’s the best way I can explain it: The arts are generally things you receive a BA in (i.e., a Bachelor of Arts). You can receive a BA in a wide variety of subjects, like history, philosophy, or government-not just painting, as you pointed out. Subjects not included under the BA umbrella are those that you normally receive a BS in, such as science (meaning the natural sciences), technology, engineering, and math. Math and physics can be exceptions because you can receive a BA or BS, but the BS is often what’s pursued by aspiring mathematicians or physicists. That aside, it doesn’t make sense to allow the arts to encroach on STEM subjects because, to make it simple, you can’t receive a Bachelor of SCIENCES degree in an art… you receive of Bachelor of ARTS degree in an art. I think people are getting offended that the arts are being excluded from STEM because they perceive it as a negative judgment of the value of the arts-probably because STEM has been pushed so relentlessly in recent times as the set of “useful” degrees. But excluding art from STEM isn’t a value judgment; it’s just maintaining fidelity to the unifying feature of STEM subjects. The arts are incredibly important; I myself am pursuing a degree in one of them. But as someone who is also pursuing a STEM degree, I think it’s important to hold our ground on what STEM actually means so that it doesn’t become some nebulous concept that’s lost all meaning.

@@willyj3321 Me an architecture major realizing labels are dumb. this is just a joke. and most people don't realize tech is a craft of art.

So "STEAM" is basically just all subjects, making it a pointless term

My brain is not working for some odd reason. Can anyone explain the punch line to me. I'm not getting it and I've watched this 5 times. HELP

​@@willyj3321 isn't it just because architects study stem? So they wanna include art for the architects basically.

We still do. Philosophy of science is important for basic sciences Imagination is important to be innovative

Shes a comedian my guy she is roasting herself, go easy😔

Most people dont even realise that art isnt just painting .... dont worry theyre clueless af

The only class I still remember from Uni is Humanities. I complained so much when had a choice philosophy or Humanities. Why I need it I am finance major? But hey critical thinking, knowledge of art, philosophy you actually need it in your daily career.

When you realize it's a stand-up comedy and not ted talk

architecture would be a good STEAM major i feel like!! good mix of art, math, AND engineering !

In fact, the inventor of the steam engine (or at least the first to describe it), Vitruvius, was indeed an architect! And the iconic artwork, the Vitruvian Man, was directly inspired by his study of beauty and proportion.

@@Chloroplastspectrum omg thats so cool!

​@@kaiwithloveI think you mean Architectural Engineers, or as some call them Building Engineers. Architects don't usually do much engineering.

​@@Vannabee13Knowing something and doing it are two different things. Each person has his job.

You don’t need an art degree to be creative ❤

who said u needed to be an artist to be creative

This fabulous lady,is a Comedian. Does everyone here miss that point??

But art isn't a part of the four core sciences. According to your logic, physical education should be added because it helps keep the mind fit. Language subjects should be added because they unlock new passageways in the mind. Not everything that helps the brain is a part of STEM. those are the four basic and pure subjects.

@@rajeshsoundararajan but physical education should be mandatory as well, muscles need exercise just like the brain needs knowledge to keep sharp.

@@fuzzywuzzy8679 Completely true, I don't disagree that physical education is important. But just because it helps in human development doesn't mean it's a part of STEM. Like I said, I could come up with innumerable skills that are necessary for a human but not really specific to STEM. For example, a person needs to know how to cook so that they can survive along and know how to fend for themselves. Or a person needs to have an interest in cultures so that they can understand the diversity of the world. Does that mean we should add a C for cooking and another C for culture into STEM?

@@rajeshsoundararajan maybe not as extensively but a general introduction into world cultures and home economics is good. I went to a school that was very stem based, there was no Home Economics class and it took a while for me to become comfortable with cooking. Art takes some mastery, and without art we wouldn’t know as much about our history.

@@rajeshsoundararajan they should make it mandatory to learn a second language and learn about other cultures. This is a big world that is slowly becoming one, we need to learn how to mesh together properly or we’ll be doomed.

It could have been teams which is a better acronym.

As another physicist I agree, but it should be a different acronym.

@@Amani_Rose yesh absolutely, I meant as in way of living life

​@@Amani_Rose I was thinking STEMA. So less confusion

@@etherealaffliction7348 Tbh I was thinking of an entirely different acronym for Art because I thought of Science and Art as quite separate entities but then I remembered a profession that links both in a very obvious way: Architects. People said engineering too but I didn't really consider it as art but yea maybe its time to update the acronym. Though I still can't see Humanities as part of the Arts.

Yes, as a hobby.

Artists have too much free time. Engineers and scientists are too busy, and so are farmers. There is a lesson in that.

People try to promote education in arts, because teaching other idiots to do the same thing is about the only way they have to make a living.

Yeah, few people remember marie curies puppetshows

AI is already adding art to stem. Lol. On serious note though if AI is only going to further reduce art jobs we should probably still be pushing stem a lot harder than art.

No one is saying you can’t educate yourself in the arts as well. But women in STEM was designed as a way to enable females to enter career fields that are male dominated and to allow them to learn how to participate in the fundamental skills necessary to develop and maintain a civilization. Unfortunately. Art. However great it is. Is not necessary to build a civilization. And this is coming from a literal self-employed artist.

@@alexanderluna4598 I think an argument could be made that art is necessary to build culture and that culture is necessary for a sufficiently advanced civilization. But they definitely provide a different sort of value don't they?

Glad atleast a few have realized that....

​@@alexanderluna4598All the great civilisations have art at their heart. There can be no great civilisation without art.

R is for Recreation, because all work and no play...

She's playing a character...that's her comedy

And the Young Lady is very funny!

​@@mikeupton5406she is not young lady....she is a mother of 3 kids😊

​@@rituparnadas1271she isn't funny as well

❤

But art is not as vital.

​@@gerardmichaelburnsjr. Well sir, you are watching a show which comes under art. Arts may be just an entertainment for you and not that important compared to doctors and scientists. Even in that case, we work hard in our lives just to have these "entertainments" without that life is just depressing, we will just exist. So many students go into science streams not out of passion for the subject but for good money it pays and I don't blame them for that money gives access to these "entertainments". Technological developments and major funding of many countries is directed towards its Defense industry. Brilliant minds are in pursuit of destruction. Eg: Atomic Bombs in the past So talk about purposeless. Both STEM and Arts majors are important.

Don't blame Desi culture for this nonsensical woman. She is quite a prototype. In India the most prestigious jobs (IAS etc) are arts oriented

​@@abcxyz-wth. I am an Indian and this is exactly how Desi parents are

Desi parents are like this only

@@abhi_25246 Talk about yourself Not all Desi parents are like this and certainly not any that I know of.

​@@abcxyz-and dominated by engineers

Exactly what I was thinking! But she gives off such typical Indian auntie vibes. She'll probably pressure her children into getting a 9 to 5 cubical job while being a stand up "comedian" herself. I'm all for more women in comedy but this broad really needs to find some other job.

True. No science without arts. You imagine, visualize, draw,model,

You do know she's just joking right? Her kid is majoring in ceramics and she's doing stand up comedy. I think it's safe to say that she has nothing against the arts

Chill. It's just a joke 🤣

People don’t get jokes. She is being ironic and picturing what most non-white American families (specially those with nordic/Irish/British/ including some Northern European roots) would consider as a ‘disgrace’ in their families if their children careers are focused on arts. I am Peruvian, and still most Peruvian parents would prefer to have their kids become doctors, engineers, lawyers, etc. the classic careers! I still have to explain my parents (born in the 50’s) what I do for a living… little they know about digital marketing, but they love when I talk about data analytics. They think after all, I must be kind of an engineer 😅

A lot of digital artists probably have more in common with STEM students than traditional artists, especially once they branch off from their basic art studies
