Hi. Ek is Noah Knox Marshall.

</s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s>

Ek skryf al meer as 15 jaar in Hollywood, werk in live-action en animasie, en werk selfs 'n rukkie as animator en storiekunstenaar. Ek hou van sci-fi - ek is 'n groot aanhanger van Star Trek, EPCOT Center (die huidige dag "Epcot" is nog steeds redelik goed) en robots. Wie hou nie van robotte nie ?!

“Dax Zander: Sea Patrol” was oorspronklik iets wat ek in verskillende ateljees vir TV-animasie opgeslaan het - maar in teenstelling met baie ander verhale wat ek ontwikkel het, het dit my bygevoeg en 'n eie lewe gekry - die verhale en karakters wat groei, het herhaaldelik my aandag geëis . Terwyl ek besig was om ander projekte vir verskillende produsente te skryf, het soveel oor Dax en die heelal in my kop gebou, dat ek tot die slotsom gekom het dat sy avonture die volle vorm in boeke moes aanneem, en nie 'n tekenprent van 22 minute nie.

Ek het nog altyd van onderzeese temas gehou - ek het naby die strand grootgeword, baie van my vriende was surfers, duikers - en een is selfs 'n diepsee-ontdekkingsreisiger wat skipbreuke oor die hele wêreld besoek. My groot broer was 'n oseanograaf en ek dink dit het alles verval. Voordat ek begin skryf het, het ek 'n paar jaar net navorsing gedoen oor mariene biologie en ander wetenskapsgebiede, omdat ek wou hê dat die verhale deurdrenk moes word met koel, net-op-die-rand-tegnologie - en miskien dinge voorstel wat moontlik haalbaar is. , maar volgens enige definisie sou dit eenvoudig cool wees. Gedurende die navorsingsfase het ek begin droom om jongmense te inspireer om die raaisels en kragtige instrumente van wiskunde en die wetenskappe op 'n vars, prettige manier te ontmoet en te omhels. Ek was dus verbaas toe die Agile Strategy Lab aan die Purdue Universiteit 'n vennootskap voorstel om studiemateriaal te ontwikkel - gebaseer op my Dax Zander-boeke - vir STEM-verwante vakke. In die nabye toekoms sal dit beskikbaar gestel word aan middel- en hoërskole regoor Amerika en hopelik ook daarbuite. Regtig opwindend, en mettertyd, met enige geluk, dink ek ons ​​kan ook 'n aantal aanlyn-interaktiewe gereedskap skep.

Soos u lees, hoop ek dat Dax, sy broers, ouers en vriende (van Aarde, Delvus-3 en ander plekke) idees kry oor hoe u na die groot grense van die see en die ruimte kan kyk: hier, nou en vir jare wat kom. Geen generasie het nog ooit die geleentheid gehad om sulke wonderlike stappe te neem en 'n beter wêreld te skep nie, 'n beter manier om vir die hele planeet te leef. U kan enigiets doen! Maar u benodig gereedskap, 'n vasberadenheid om te werk en 'n plan om 'n wonderlike toekoms te bou en 'n verskil te maak. Gelukkig kan baie van hierdie gereedskap in u gedagtes gebou word - gereedskap wat niemand ooit van u kan wegneem nie - en dit is nooit te laat om u gedagtes verstommend te maak nie. En ek glo in u verbasendheid.

Sien jou daar buite - aan die oewer of in die sterre. O - jy kan my Knox noem.
