The STEM for All Video Showcase is now at the end of its funding cycle. We are grateful to NSF for funding this effort from 2015 - 2023. We have now converted this Video Showcase to a static site in order to ensure that you will have continued access to all videos. You can still search the videos by presenter name, use multiple filters to find those that are of interest to you, and read the discussions that took place.
Please note that some of the information below may no longer apply, as the event is now closed. Videos from all Video Showcases (2015 - 2022) are accessible on the STEM for All Multiplex.
The video must be under three minutes (but can be much shorter!) and be designed to effectively convey an intervention, innovation or research’s potential impact, promise and challenges. Videos can be prepared by a team or by an individual project member. The audio must be audible online.
Videos should be created with as little technical language as possible so that it is accessible to a broad public audience, including funders, PIs, teachers, administrators, professional developers, industry and the public at large.
It is strongly suggested that final movie files are kept under 400MB, as this will make it much easier to upload to the event website. Upon submission, videos will be reviewed to ensure they meet these criteria.
See the Moviemaking Guide for additional suggestions and tips for making a video.
The website will be open for uploading videos from April 27th – May 4th. All submissions will include the video, completed presenter(s) bio information, and completed presentation information. Prior to the 27th, all registered presenters will receive an email with details about logging in to the website and submitting their videos. Submissions must all be completed by Monday, May 4th.
This is an online event that will be held May 11-15. Presenters, facilitators, and guests can visit the Showcase at any time of day to participate in discussions and voting.
Day 1 of Event: May 11
Day 2 – Day 4: May 12 – 14

Visit their presentations and post comments throughout the days of the event. Vote for your favorite video presentations to help determine "Public Choice" and share work with the public at large. Presenters will also select those presentations that show extraordinary creativity in the use of video to share innovative work to determine "Presenters' Choice."
During the event, facilitators from each resource center will select a few videos, which will recognize extraordinary creativity in the use of video to share innovative work to determine "Facilitators' Choice." In addition, presenters (all those who participated in creating a video) will have the opportunity to select their favorite videos to determine "Presenters' Choice." Finally, all public visitors to the event will be asked to vote for videos that they find most compelling. Those with the greatest number of public votes will receive "Public Choice."
All presentations that are selected by facilitators, presenters, and by the public will be announced on May 18, 2015 and will be acknowledged on this event website at the end of the showcase. They will be broadly recognized throughout the NSF and STEM Ed communities as well.
In order to seed conversations, and to set a constructive, collaborative, creative tone throughout the days of the event, each resource center has recruited facilitators to participate in the live event. Facilitators will also vote for the presentations that they feel are most successful in using video to show the innovative work being done by the project. Their votes will determine "Facilitators' Choice" for this event.
It is our hope that this competition will be successful in engaging the public in this work. To encourage this, "Public Choice" will be given to the presentations that receive the most votes during the showcase event (May 11-15). All visitors, presenters, and facilitators can participate in the voting for Public Choice.
