Overview

 

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

This sector includes many STEM-focused fields including engineering, advanced manufacturing, metrology, cybersecurity, microelectronics, materials science, robotics, computer aided design, and many more.

The all new FREE episodes showcase the exciting careers and inspiring personal journeys of STEM role models. Each 20-minute episode features a STEM role model telling their story through a lively Q&A session with a fellow STEM professional. Graphical elements were incorporated to communicate additional facts and career information to students.
