“Trailblazing Women Engineers Inspire the Next Generation” by History Professor Laura Ettinger and “Clarkson Noyce STEM for All” will be featured May 10th-17th at https://stemforall2022.videohall.com/
Potsdam, NY, May 10, 2022 — Laura Ettinger, Associate Professor of History at Clarkson University, and Clarkson’s Noyce Scholarship Program, or STEM Up NY, will be featured in the 2022 STEM for All Video Showcase funded by the National Science Foundation. The event will be held online May 10th – 17th at https://stemforall2022.videohall.com
Clarkson is proud to have two presentations in the competition, Ettinger’s is entitled “Trailblazing Women Engineers Inspire the Next Generation,” and it looks at the perspectives and experiences of women engineers who graduated from college in the 1970s, a time when a small but growing cohort of women entered the profession. It includes brief clips of her documentary and educational videos featuring six of the engineers. The project was funded by the National Science Foundation.

Ettinger said, “I decided to participate in the STEM for All Video Showcase to expand the reach of my work and learn about others’ work about similar issues. The women I interviewed for this project are amazing, and I want their voices and messages to reach as many people as possible. I hope that my project inspires young people, especially girls, to pursue STEM and that it informs debates and efforts to change the culture of engineering and increase the percentage of women in the field.”
The other Clarkson video in the competition is from Clarkson’s Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program. Associate Professor Seema Rivera is the PI for Clarkson’s Noyce program or STEM up NY, which focuses on rural schools’ teacher recruitment and retention. The program provides up to 20 scholarships to aspiring teachers in STEM subjects to help address the shortage of secondary teachers for those subjects in high-need schools. The National Science Foundation funded the project. Their video describes the program and how it is connected to access, equity, and inclusion.

Now in its eighth year, the annual showcase will feature over 250 innovative projects aimed at improving Science, Technology, Math, Engineering and CS education, which have been funded by the National Science Foundation and other federal agencies. During the 8-day event, researchers, practitioners, policy makers and members of the public are invited to view the short videos, discuss them with the presenters online, and vote for their favorites.
The theme for this year’s event is “Access, Inclusion, and Equity.” Video presentations address broadening participation; STEM learning in formal, informal, community and home settings; design and implementation of STEM and CS programs; research informing STEM and CS teaching and learning; and measuring impact of innovative programs. 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, NGSS and the Common Core.
Last year’s STEM for All Video Showcase is still being accessed, and to date has had over 103,000 unique visitors from 178 countries.
The STEM for All Video Showcase is hosted by TERC, in partnership with: STEMTLnet, CADRE, CAISE, CIRCLS, STELAR, CS for All Teachers, NARST, NCTM, NSTA, NSF INCLUDES, and QEM. The Showcase is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation (#1922641).
