Grant Imahara was an electrical engineer and roboticist who joined Mythbusters in 2005 as part of the Build Team and would go on to appear in more than two hundred episodes. Remembered for his robot building, Jamie impersonating, and always immaculate black dress shirts, Grant was a beloved presence whose skills as a builder took Mythbusters’ experiments to a whole other level – and whose abilities as a communicator further established the show as a tool for science education.
After his passing in 2020, Grant's friends and family established the Grant Imahara Steam Foundation with a mission to inspire emerging talent and empower historically marginalized youth in science, technology, engineering, art, and math education. This week, we're celebrating the life and work of Grant Imahara with his longtime friend, foundation board member, and fellow effects artist, Fon Davis.
