In addition to Discovery Channel talent, the new spot includes personalities and places that illustrate the wonders of the world including sixteen year old Zac Sunderland, the youngest person to circumnavigate the world; Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway®; the Transformers and Europes massive Hadron Collider, the largest and highest energy particle accelerator. In addition to newsmakers and noteworthy places, the fourth graders of Miami Elementary School in Clinton Township, Michigan make an appearance with their own homegrown version of Boom de Yada.
