MESA Keynote Speaker on Sunday, June 22nd:
Nate Ball is a TV host, author, mechanical engineer, and entrepreneur who became insatiably hooked on science and engineering at an early age. His childhood projects, which included a 1,000,000 volt Tesla coil and a kitchen-engulfing rocket fuel experiment gone awry, paved his way to MIT where he earned two degrees in mechanical engineering. While in graduate school Nate became the youngest winner of the prestigious Lemelson-MIT Student Prize for his inventive work.

Nate is passionate about outreach to kids, as his own childhood enthusiasm for hands-on learning led him to an exciting and multifaceted engineering career. He has hosted the Emmy and Peabody award winning PBS Kids TV series Design Squad since 2007, and he’s made appearances including on the History Channel, MythBusters and in various venues in the TED sphere. Nate’s latest endeavor is his newly launched science-adventure chapter book series called Alien in my Pocket.

Nate is also the co-founder and CTO of Atlas Devices, a company that develops advanced access and rescue equipment for the U.S. Military, including the Atlas Powered Ascender: a real-life version of Batman’s grappling hook setup. He is based in Boston where he lives with his wife and infant son, whose engineering education is just beginning.
