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.

4.2% of attendees were from outside of the United States, representing 39 countries.

41% of U.S. public schools registered are Title 1 schools.

Many educators who signed up large groups of students noted that they did not know the ethnicities and/or gender at the time of registration.

We promoted the series by implementing a highly targeted online advertising campaign on social media, joining forces with media partners, engaging STEM influencers as ambassadors, and continuing our targeted outreach to Title 1 schools around the country.
