STEM jobs are projected to grow 3x faster than non-STEM jobs, but only 20% of high school grads are prepared for college-level coursework in STEM. So we’re calling on YOU to inspire younger students to learn STEM skills and make a real impact.

DoSomething members are true everyday heroes, and Project STEM Heroes is YOUR chance to influence the next generation of changemakers.

By sharing your excitement for STEM with younger students, you’ll inspire them to explore STEM for themselves, and build skills for the good of our planet!

Love using STEM to make an impact?

Record and share a :60 second video about why you’re passionate about, excited by, or interested in STEM to inspire a younger generation of students to explore STEM too!

You'll be eligible to earn a $1,500 scholarship, and will be considered to be one of two scholarship recipients - along with their teachers - to join the New York City premiere of Project Hail Mary, starring Ryan Gosling.

*For your submission to be considered, it must be received by Thursday, 2/26/26 by 11:59 PM (PT)
