Each year, TERC (originally Technical Education Research Centers) hosts an event called the National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM for All Video Showcase, sharing three-minute videos from federally funded projects that seek to improve science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education. During the weeklong event, a wide variety of stakeholders are encouraged to participate. The general public is invited, along with educators, project leaders, researchers, policy makers, and industry representatives. According to the STEM for All website, “All participants will be able to view the video presentations, post to the facilitated discussions related to each video, and vote for the videos that are most effective in conveying the creative work being done.” Showcase videos and discussions are archived for future access after the event. Videos submitted in 2021 by the DO-IT Center include these videos:
- Increasing Access to Informal STEM Learning
- Women with Disabilities in STEM Academic Careers
- Mentoring Students with Disabilities in Research Experiences
- Center for Neurotechnology: Creating Access for All
We also recommend other disability-related videos in the Showcase:
- Cultivating Inclusive STEM for Young Children
- Accommodating STEM students with disabilities in COVID-19
- UDL4CS: A research practice partnership
- Inventing, Designing, and Engineering for All Students
- The Invisibility of Students with Disabilities in STEM
- Multicraft: Platform for Collaborative and Spatial Learning
- Co-Designing a VR STEM Mystery Game with Neurodiverse Learners
You’re invited to discuss the videos online with the presenters and other visitors. Vote for your favorite presentations for the public choice award. Thousands of researchers, educators, college faculty, and others will take part. We look forward to seeing you there!
