Dr. Andres Fortino hosts a weekly radio show on WFAS AM 1230 in Westchester on Monday evenings from 7 to 8pm. The show, entitled "Tomorrow's Technology Today", is designed to educate the public on new technology and to help them with the inevitable changes that it will bring about.
A further goal of the show is to help parents and children understand the excitement and opportunities with careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Dr. Fortino educates parents to appreciate that there are many employment opportunities in this area and not to turn their children away from these careers.
The spring season begins on April 21, 2008.
