If students need help with their study strategies, we're ready to provide it."

The theme for this year's showcase is "Innovations in STEM Education." Now in its fifth year, the showcase features over 240 innovative projects aimed at improving STEM learning and teaching, which are also being funded by the NSF and other federal agencies.

Video presentations address improving the K-12 STEM classroom, informal environments, undergraduate and graduate education, teacher professional development, and community engagement. Collectively, the presentations cover a broad range of topics including science, mathematics, computer science, engineering, cyberlearning, citizen science, maker spaces, broadening participation, research experiences, mentoring, professional development, Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the .

During the week-long event, researchers, practitioners, policymakers and members of the public are invited to view the short videos, discuss them with the presenters online and vote for their favorites. All videos are available online between  and , at stemforall2019.videohall.com.
