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 shorter) and be designed to effectively convey an intervention, innovation or research’s potential impact, promise and challenges. We encourage videos to address this year's theme, Advancing STEM for All.
Videos should be created with as little technical language as possible so that it is accessible to a broad public audience, including researchers, school administrators, professional developers, policy makers, practitioners, graduate and other students, and the public at large.
Videos can be prepared by a team or by an individual project member. The audio must be audible online. Closed captioning will be provided for all videos by TERC, the event organizers. Closed captioning is dependent on good audio quality. 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.
Visit Important Information for Presenters for complete details, including:
The website will be open for uploading videos from January 25 – April 28. All submissions will include the video, completed presenter(s) bio information, completed presentation information, as well as a completed permission form. Upon approval of registration, presenters will receive an email with details about logging in to the website and submitting their videos. Submissions must all be completed by Thursday, April 28 at 5PM EDT.
To upload a presentation during the submission period (January 25 - April 28), login using the information in the email you received confirming your registration. Use the “Submit Presentation” button. If you have any co-presenters, they can also login and help complete these ‘submit presentation’ steps (once you have added them in the Presenter step):
Presenter(s) bio info: In this step, lead presenters will need to verify the information that was provided during registration and add any further required information, including a photo. If there is a co-presenter(s), you will need to add their name(s) to invite them as a co-presenter(s) for your presentation. Once invited, they can login to complete their information and help with these steps. You can also make updates for them.
Presentation info: All information about the video presentation should be verified and completed including the title, description, and other details about your project.
Upload video: The final video must be less than 3 minutes in order to qualify and final movie files should be under 400MB. While you will be uploading the final video file to our event site in this step, the file will actually reside on Vimeo and so their guidelines are our guidelines. Vimeo handles most video file types well, but for best possible conversion of your uploaded video, you can visit their video compression page for these guidlelines.
Copyright/permission step: Please complete and sign NSF’s Permission Form. You will need to download, review, and fill out ahead of time. Once you have downloaded it, fill out the required information and provide your digital signature. (We recommend using the most up to date version of Adobe Reader to fill in this form.) When complete, save it and upload it to the site. A completed, signed form is required before your submission can be accepted.
Review and approve presentation: After the video has been uploaded and the presenter and presentation information provided, presenters will be able to see a facsimile of how these will be viewed online. If there are problems, a different video file can be uploaded. Make any final edits and then “approve” the video as final. Once “approved,” no further changes can be made.
Technical Review: Once you have approved your video, your presentation will go through a technical review by our team. After the review, your presentation will be ready for the showcase event, beginning May 17.
This is an online event that will be held May 17-23. Presenters, facilitators, and guests can visit the Showcase at any time of day to participate in discussions and voting.
Day 1 of Event: May 17

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 vote for four presentations that they feel show extraordinary creativity in the use of video to share innovative work to determine “Presenters’ Choice.” You may vote for your own presentation, but you must vote for three others for your votes to count. You must vote for four presentations in total.
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 Tuesday, May 24, 2016 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.
Each resource center has asked five facilitators from their respective communities to seed discussions and set a positive tone for constructive, collegial discourse. Groups of five facilitators are assigned to a group of approximately 10 presentations. Each facilitator group recognizes one presentation per group to detemine Facilitators' Choice.
Facilitators will use the following rubric to determine the presentations that will receive Facilitators’ Choice recognition:
It is our hope that this competition will be successful in engaging the public in this work. To encourage this, “Public Choice” recognition will be given to the presentations that receive the most votes during the showcase event (May 17-23). All visitors, presenters, and facilitators can participate in the voting for Public Choice.
Using the Vote for Public Choice button on a video presentation page, there are 3 ways to vote:
You can vote vote for a presentation using all of these methods, as one of the goals for this showcase is for broad dissemination of innovative work to the public at large.
All votes must be in by 8 PM EDT on Monday, May 23.
Presenters and co-presenters have a special opportunity to select video presentations of their colleagues which they feel are most meritorious. These presentations will be recognized as "Presenters' Choice." You can vote for your own presentation, but you must also select three additional presentations for your votes to count. You must vote for four presentations in total. Presenters and co-presenters are also welcome to vote for "Public Choice."
Be sure to complete your selections by 8 PM EDT on Monday, May 23, to have your votes counted.
