Students get an inside look into the exciting careers and inspiring personal journeys of diverse STEM role models through a lively Q&A session with a fellow STEM professional. The 20-minute max episodes will premiere throughout the school year and will be available on-demand to fit into your schedule.
Sign UpJoin the Hip Hop M.D. Maynard Okereke for a conversation with Dr. Jamesa Stokes. She’s a materials research engineer at the NASA Glenn Research Center where she works to understand how advanced materials behave in extreme environments like high altitudes and space. Learn how her work impacts not only space exploration, but our ability to travel here on earth!
Get to know exciting and in-demand STEM jobs in engineering, manufacturing, robotics and more that are critical for our national security.
Kick off the new school year with videos that will inspire your students on a variety of STEM topics ranging from space travel to neuroscience, exploration to healthcare, and everything in between!
Celebrate the wonders of flight and space exploration during National Aviation Week, held each year around August 19th in honor of National Aviation Day.
