The National Science Foundation (NSF) STEM for All Video Showcase is an annual online event. It is created by a TERC, which is an independent, non-profit, research-based organization dedicated to engaging and inspiring all students through stimulating curricula and programs designed to develop the knowledge and skills they need to ask questions, solve problems, and expand their opportunities.
Video: Indigenous Food, Energy, and Water Security and Sovereignty.
This video talks about building sustainable technologies in the face of the destruction of balance between people and the environment. An interesting aspect is that they involve the communities themselves in the process. It summarizes the work that can be found at https://energy.arizona.edu/indigefewss.
Video: Culturally Responsive Indigenous Science
This video highlights the work that discusses engagement in Indigenous knowledge systems and how public schools are missing this way of knowing and learning. The Culturally Responsive Indigenous Science (CRIS) project stems from decades of relationship building, in part facilitating culturally responsive youth development projects with our partners.
Video: Traditional Knowledge – Modern Science
The Ute STEM Project explores the integration of Western science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), and Native American Knowledge bases. This video is one in a series of videos on the project, the others can be found at https://vimeo.com/showcase/5723628. The video discusses how knowledge of the environment (TEK) and innovations have been passed down for centuries, and Western science can help to understand that past. It also highlights that it is important to understand dichotomies and not rely on just one or the other (TEK or Western) science, as well as the importance to reconnect with the land as it is what informs us.
