We are a non-profit organization that seeks to show people of all ages that STEM is all around us!

talkSTEM enjoys our partnership with the incredible Lyda Hill Philanthropies.

In June, we will be kicking off our 2nd talkSTEM- @IfThenSheCan teacher fellowship for 15 teachers, thanks to support from LH Philanthropies.

Excited about The #WorldCup2026?! We are, too! That's why we can't wait to share our Soccer & STEM playlist, made up of seven brand new videos that all frame STEM concepts through the beloved game of soccer.

Teachers and students at @CityLabHS, the Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship Academy (@IDEA_at_Fannin), @UpliftEducation, and the William B. Travis Academy (@travis_tag) created this series of videos to help learn about the hidden geometry, algebra, and physics behind corner kicks, penalty kicks, the field’s turf, and more.

Check out the full YouTube playlist here: https://t.co/kSPotsrezi

Tomorrow! Thursday 4/30, talkSTEM is excited to participate in the @CityLabHS Summit! We're one of the project partners supporting high school math teachers and students develop their very own walkSTEM video highlighting the mathematics of penalty kicks.

Catch us in the First Half of the summit (10AM - 11:30AM) during the STEM + Soccer portion.

talkSTEM is enthusiastically partnering with teachers on development of walkSTEM videos, so this video will be the first of many similarly developed at different schools in the Dallas area!

Mark your calendars for the @CityLabHS Summit on April 29th and 30th!

Open to public, the “2026 CityLab Sustainability Summit” will focus on sustainability issues, environmental stewardship, place-making, and the benefits of large-scale regional events such as the 2026 World Cup.

We're honored to be a part of this as a project partner on a special pre-World Cup "STEM and Soccer" project involving teachers and students at the school.

Happy Earth Day! We're asking questions about nesting birds, changing leaves, bouncing bunnies, and everything in between.

Some people like to stop and smell the roses - we like to stop and appreciate the #STEM! Real life examples of STEM are everywhere (seriously, EVERYWHERE) around us, and what better way to engage students, start conversations, and learn than to use what's already around us on this beautiful planet? That's why we encourage STEM walks.

The #walkSTEM initiative was developed by our founder to encourage everyone - students, teachers, kids, adults - to observe, appreciate, and ask questions about the STEM around them. You can find more information on walkSTEM on https://t.co/we12b8u4CC.

We loved working with The @girlscouts of Northeast Texas and STEM Center of Excellence to put on a MathFinder camp!

The campers and research teams at talkSTEM and @SMU all had a ton of fun doing a Math Walk at the archery range, where the Girl Scouts practiced their archery skills and used the MathFinder app to hone their math skills at the same time!

Everyone can play the MathFinder game on their iPad (free download in the App Store here https://t.co/NeOni0Nfjh)

MathFinder is an app that takes math out of a formal educational setting, and puts it out into students' worlds. To learn more, visit https://t.co/tCQARO7OrH, and check back for more photos and videos of MathFinder in action.

This week's historic #ArtemisII flight ignited our curiosity about space travel. Artemis came more than 50 years after Apollo 13, but what do they have in common? Materials, for one thing!

Our video at The @FrontofFlight Museum talks about the materials on the Apollo mission, but did you know that both Apollo and Artemis had heat shields made of the same material called #Avcoat?

The difference was in the building process: Apollo's was applied by hand into honeycomb cells, but Artemis II used a mechanized process.

Check out our video on Apollo materials! https://t.co/FWsRJzXb2r

Many more on our YouTube page https://t.co/MpsyzhrSlA or at https://t.co/RIAycrkfwe

Still curious? We were, too. Read more about Artemis and Apollo on NASA's website! https://t.co/uJXmMdZWk4

Today is #NationalWalkingDay, but it's always a great time for a STEM walk!

A STEM walk is when you take a little extra time to observe STEM in everyday life, and go the extra mile to ask a question. The #walkSTEM initiative was developed by our founder to encourage everyone - students, teachers, kids, adults - to observe, appreciate, and ask questions about the STEM around them. You don't need fancy equipment. You don't need a PhD. You just need a curious mind. We encourage anyone and everybody go try a STEM walk (or ten!)

More information on walkSTEM at https://t.co/we12b8u4CC, and examples at https://t.co/PHbnG4tbfR.

Today, February 11th, is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Of course, we celebrate the brilliant minds in STEM every day, but we're taking an extra moment today to express our gratitude for the brilliant #WomenInScience. Check out this clip from the Women in Tech panel for some insight on what they would have told their younger selves.

Full panel discussion available at https://t.co/HgjIuM1TS2

Big thanks to moderator Sejal Desai, and panel participants Maya Leibman (CIO, American Airlines), Helen Malick (CEO, Figable), Ane Sacks (VP and GM, DLP Products at Texas Instruments), and Dahlia Soliman-Powers (Sr. VP, CIO of Digital and Enterprise Services, CBRE)

We're absolutely thrilled to be working with @SavvasLearning Company to help others find STEM in everyday life with math and STEM walks!

Check out this piece featuring the ideas and methods our founder, Dr. Koshi Dhingra, that promote learning outside of the classroom. Read about why math and STEM can feel daunting in traditional settings, and how connecting it to everyday places and experiences can bridge the gap and make learning accessible AND fun for everybody.
