STEM video content

When I first started shooting #STEM video content, I copied everyone else.

I didn't develop a unique style until I started working with high school students in #NYC.

That's when I observed the disconnect: Amazing science communicators like Bill Nye may be likable, and watching their content may be an interesting break from mundane class work, but Bill Nye isn't aspirational to many urban #students.

They don't see him and think, "Man, I wanna be like this guy when I grow up,".

So I created 'Mr. Fascinate' (instagram.com/mr.fascinate) a persona that makes #STEM look a little bit cooler.

With so many #STEAM job openings, it's important for students to see these careers as "cool" in order to be intrinsically motivated to pursue them.
