WHAT IS STEAM STAR?
STEAM Star is a groundbreaking short-form, premium content series that uses the power of “influencers” to show students how ordinary STEAM concepts are used in extraordinary ways in the world’s coolest jobs. Each lesson begins with a TikTok style video featuring a star with a dream job. This is followed by hands-on, standards-aligned exercises inspired by the star’s work.
