Bill Nye believes educating young people about science is still paramount, especially today as many families are grappling with distance learning amid the pandemic.

Dressed in his signature bow tie, the 64-year-old mechanical engineer spoke to USA TODAY about his memories of the series, his thoughts on the coronavirus pandemic and why he's embraced TikTok to connect with the next generation.explained."We had people taking the solar panels off of their roofs, and I was very concerned about the abandoned teaching of the metric system."

He served as a creator on the show as well as the host. The series, which ran for five seasons in the mid-'90s, was meant"to get young people excited" about science. Nye said what started out in a Seattle warehouse in 1993 quickly evolved into a Daytime Emmy-Award winning program that got 10-year-olds talking about biodiversity, outer space and chemistry.

"Television is so intimate, even though we are very far apart. When you’re watching someone on television, it’s like that person is right there in that room with you. So I really embraced that," he said, attributing the show's success to his informal approach.

"It's a really difficult time, but with that said, this is also perhaps an opportunity for kids to have time to sit and think," he said."When it comes to science education, half of what we learn from science we learn outside of the classroom. So this time could be an opportunity to have kids mess around in the kitchen, learn about acids and bases... about green plants and ecosystems in the yard.
