Did you see that guy . Thats what i could count on. But then, panama surprised me. Techknow came here to check out the massive panama canal expansion project but this trip would become much more. This is techknow. A show about innovations that can change lives. The science of fighting a wild fire. Were going to explore the intersection of hardware and humanity and were doing it in a unique way. This is a show about science. Oh, my god by scientists. Pink and purple paint the skies over a downtown city skyline. It could be any city in the world. But this is panama. A country stuck in the middle. One of latin americas richest. With overwhelming poverty, smack in the middle of incredible wealth. But most of what makes panama great is its incredible canal. More than one hundred years old, and stil
