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.
Guests and interested members of the public are invited to browse the presentations and watch the videos provided by the presenters. During the week of this event, May 14 - 21, you are encouraged to contribute to the discussion for each presentation by posting comments and questions. You can also vote for your favorite presentations to help determine the “Public Choice.”
Having an account provides many benefits to Video Showcase participants. Anyone participating and commenting during the week-long event can create an account using the link on the Home page (available May 14 - 21).

After this time, all posted comments will still remain available to view on the presentation discussions, but no new comments or replies can be added.

In order to participate, a presenter from your project must register for the event. Registration is usually mid-January to mid-February.
There is a limit on the number of registrations we can accept each year. Given that, all registrations are reviewed approvals are sent out after registration closes. In our approval process, priority is given to NSF and other federally funded projects that address the theme.

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. You will also vote for four presentations that you 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 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.” Read more about these types of recognitions and why we have them.
All presentations that are selected by facilitators, presenters, and by the public will be announced on Tuesday, May 22, 2018 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 three facilitators are assigned to a group of approximately 10-12 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:
There are several reasons.
It is our hope that this competition will be successful in engaging the public in this work.

Presenters and co-presenters have a special opportunity to select video presentations of their colleagues which they feel are most meritorious.
