The STEM for All Multiplex 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 the Multiplex to a static site in order to ensure that you will have continued access to all 1,620 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. We have preserved all Curated Playlists and Theme of the Month events. Each theme examines a topic in depth and has an introductory blog, a webinar, related video playlist, resources and a synthesis brief.
The Videos page provides many filters (keyword, grade level, audience, state, etc.) that can be used together to narrow a search. The more filters you select, the smaller your list of videos will become.
The search field can also be used to type in a more specific search term or name of interest (e.g. chemistry, algebra, “video game,” Harvard, or Jones (presenter name), etc.). Using this Search field will return results with all videos that have used your search term(s) in their abstracts, video narrative, etc. and will be more thorough than just using the ‘keyword filter’ (which were keywords that were selected by presenters).
Using the search field (vs keywords) will also provide the most comprehensive search results, as it will search all of the presentation data (title, abstract, presenter name, and video transcripts, etc.) for that search term. Instead, choosing a keyword from the drop-down will return the list of presentations that had that particular keyword chosen by the presenters when they submitted their video (they chose up to 3 from the list).
If you would like, you can save your search results as a playlist using the button at the top of the page so that you can easily access it in the future.
A teacher or a school administrator?
Search for videos by topics of interest. Use the Audience filter to view videos intended for a teacher/administrator audience. Use the Keyword and/or Grade-level filters to narrow the topics and age-group of students of interest. Use the Search field to type any specific term or name that is of interest.
A researcher interested in finding projects of interest in STEM and CS education?
Use the Audience filter to find videos intended for a researcher audience. Use the Keyword and/or Grade-level filters to narrow the topics and age-group of students of most interest. Use the Search field to type any specific term or name that is of interest.
Looking to find projects in a particular state? Or from a particular organization?
Use the State filter to find videos by a project in a particular state. To most easily find videos by projects and presenters from a particular organization, type the name of the organization into the Search field. The Organization filter can also be used.
Looking to get funding from a particular National Science Foundation program or other federal program?
To search for NSF programs of interest, use the NSF Program filter to find videos of projects that have been funded by these programs. Use the Funder filter to find projects funded by federal agencies other than NSF (NASA, NIH, etc.).
Looking for videos about STEM and Higher Education?
Use the Audience filter to find videos intended for a higher ed faculty or administrators. Use the Keyword and/or Grade-level filters to narrow the topics and age-group of students of most interest. Use the NSF Program filter to select programs that are focused on undergraduate and graduate education (e.g. IUSE, LSAMP, HBCU-UP, IGERT, etc.). Use the Search field to type any specific term or name that is of interest.
Looking for videos about informal STEM learning?
Use the Audience filter to find videos intended for informal educators. Use the Keyword and/or Grade-level filters to narrow the topics and age-group of students of most interest. Use the NSF Program filter to select projects funded by the AISL program (Advancing Informal STEM Learning). Use the Search field to type any specific term or name that is of interest.
There are two ways to create playlists of videos. The first is to create a playlist based on your search results; the second is to 'save' individual videos that you find as you are browsing and you would like to add to your favorites or to a list you have already created (or would like to create).
To access your saved playlists at anytime, click on your name (in the top right) to open your Activity menu. Click 'My Saved Playlists.'
As you watch videos that you would like to mark as a favorite, click on the + sign beneath any video that appeals to you (on that video’s page). Click the box for ‘Favorites’ and the video will be added to your list of favorites.
To access your saved playlists, you need to be logged in as a member. Once you are logged in, click on your name in the top right of any page to open your activity menu. This opens a drop-down with links to buttons you can click to access your playlists, comments, and other site activity.
Click My Saved Playlists to see your list of playlists, including your Favorites. For each playlist, use the buttons to view, edit, or share.
Different themes about groups of videos related to STEM and computer education will be presented monthly. Each theme will include a:
Be sure to join as a member to receive notifications about these Theme of the Month activities.
Multiplex members and staff have created and shared curated playlists that you can explore that feature different topics each month and show what is trending. Explore these curated playlists using the Playlists button in the top menu.
Projects that address STEM and CS learning and receive federal funding from NSF and other federal agencies (e.g. ED, NASA, NIH, IMLS, USDA, etc.) can participate by presenting a (< 3 min) video about their projects work. In order to participate:
To stay up to date with upcoming dates and deadlines, join the Multiplex! Email communications will not only provide information about Multiplex events, but upcoming Video Showcase dates and deadlines, as well.

Yes, the closed captioning is available for the videos. Click the cc button in the bottom right (of each video) to turn them on/off, as necessary.
The map feature was added to the STEM for All Video Showcase starting in 2017, so all video presentations from the 2017 - 2019 Video Showcases have this feature to view and all future showcases will also display this activity. This feature was not available during the 2015 and 2016 Video Showcases, and therefore the presentations from those years can not display it.
The Multiplex is an online, free, interactive platform combining the videos presented in the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 STEM for All Video Showcases. It provides visitors with new ways to search and discover videos of interest related to cutting edge efforts to transform science, mathematics, engineering, technology and computer science learning. Visitors can create and share playlists of these videos, join Theme of the Month webinars and discussions, and stay connected to STEM for All Video Showcase all year long.
