We are excited to share our newest curated video collection consisting of 50 short videos featuring girls and women sharing their science, technology, engineering, art, and math moments in their real world environments – ranging from public spaces, labs, playgrounds, backyards, and more. Parents, caregivers, teachers, and more – use these videos freely to engage your girls in a wide range of discussions and activities focusing on STEAM in everyday life and STEAM careers, whether in tech industries, the medical profession, or other.
Included in this collection also are panel discussions between women in tech careers such as the CIO of American Airlines, If/Then Ambassadors, and high school STEAM advocates from Girls Do STEAM. Thanks to our partner, the Dallas Black Dance Theater, you can view the Physics of Dance workshop and create your own dance moves, keeping the physics connections in mind! You can even take a walk with a biomechanics specialist and gain insight into the kinds of angles your body makes as you move, try out fun activities involving designing paperboats and bouncing basketballs.
We hope this video collection will inspire girls everywhere (and their families, teachers, and other educators) to see the STEAM in their lived experiences and environments, participate in STEAM activities in school, out of school, and absolutely anywhere, and develop their STEAM mindsets continuously as they appreciate the STEAM moments that make up so much of each day.
