X-STEM All Access Status Update Season 3

Overview

X-STEM All Access is a free on-demand conference series for middle and high schoolers designed to get students excited about STEM.

The 2022 series – presented by the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Space Force, and Discovery Channel – included seven FREE episodes showcasing the exciting careers and inspiring personal journeys of diverse STEM role models.  Each 30-minute episode featured a STEM role model telling their story through a lively Q&A session with a fellow STEM professional.

Episodes were released throughout the year and are available on-demand to view anytime.  More than 34,000 students, teachers, parents, military families, and STEM enthusiasts signed up to view the 2022 series.

In September 2022 we introduced NGSS and CASEL aligned lesson plans to accompany each episode. These educator-designed lesson plans were downloaded 1765 times in the final three months of the year.
