I remember my elementary school days, sitting in a run-down science class. Whenever the huge television strapped to the cart got wheeled out, we all knew what was coming up next: Bill. We all used to sing along to the theme song as soon as it came on. "Bill Nye the Science Guy." A brightly-colored bow tie and a blue lab coat never made kids happier.

Personally, I can hardly say his name without thinking of or humming the tune. This man—who was so prevalent throughout our childhood—has grown older. The kids he taught have grown older, too.

As the millennials that had Bill Nye as their science teacher grew up, those episodes proved important in shaping our own ideas and opinions on science. Nye educated us on general topics in science, including earth science, human anatomy, and so much more. Watching his show helped us venture into the world with slightly more scientific knowledge.

Now, as young adults, we millennials see Bill Nye in a slightly different light than before. With videos of him reading "Mean Tweets" and offering a simple, yet realistic explanation of what climate change really is, Nye has grown with the kids he's taught and continues to reach out to them, offering bits of knowledge on topics that greatly affect them.

So what was Bill Nye The Science Guy to you? Did you have a favorite episode of his? Did you not get to see him as much as other kids did? What are your thoughts on his influence on your childhood?
