Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum: STEM in 30
Our fast-paced webcast series engages middle school students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) topics in just 30 minutes.
We bring in Museum curators, astronauts, and experts in the field to connect classrooms with real-world, relevant content. Shows combine animations, interviews with experts, and unique locations to show students that science extends beyond the walls of their school.
The shows are interactive. Students respond to polls and submit questions that are answered online or during the live broadcast. Educators are provided with additional content and follow-up activities to extend the experience beyond the live webcast. Each show meets Next Generation Science Standards. See the full schedule.
How It Works
- We release an episode on the first Thursday of each month.
- You can watch it on-demand as your class schedule allows.
- We host a live video chat with our hosts and experts from the episode the second Thursday of each month.*
- You bring the burning questions that came up when you watched the episode and dive even deeper on each month’s topic
*Exact date of live chat subject to change.

The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum maintains the world’s largest and most significant collection of aviation and space artifacts, encompassing all aspects of human flight, as well as related works of art and archival materials.
Here’s a big idea: What if we could fly to space like we fly around the world? That’s not science fiction – that’s the reality of the Space Shuttle Program!
Wonder Woman has the invisible jet, Batman has the silent batwing, and the military has the B-2 and the F-117. Learn about actual stealth aircraft and the science behind making a sneaky flying machine.
Do you want to learn more about the intriguing, and sometimes sneaky, science behind becoming undetectable?
Did you know Mars is inhabited by robots?
Tune in to the Air and Space Live Chat focused on National History Day featuring NASA astronaut Stan Love!
Tune in to the Air and Space Live Chat to ask your questions for aviation historian Peter Jakab and former Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson.
No matter what your interests, there is a job for you in the aerospace industry.
We’ve all seen a plane take off from a long runway, but what if you don’t have a full-sized runway?
What are you looking for?
