Bringing #STEMTok to Life on National STEM Day

From experiments in classrooms to creators turning complex ideas into “aha!” moments, the STEM Feed is where curiosity sparks connection. In honor of National STEM Day, we're spotlighting the creators, educators, and communities who bring science, technology, engineering, and math to life through creativity, collaboration, and discovery. Whether you're an aspiring scientist, a budding programmer, or simply curious about the world, the STEM Feed offers expertly moderated, high-quality, educational content that engages, informs, and inspires.

As part of our National STEM Day celebrations, TikTok is partnering with the Houston Museum of Natural Science (@houstonmuseumns) for A Weekend of STEM Discovery with TikTok, from Nov. 8-9. The two-day event will bring our platform’s thriving STEM community to life through interactive exhibits and hands-on activities including solar cooking demos, fossil prep stations, and science-inspired crafts. The Houston Museum of Natural Science uses TikTok to connect with new audiences and makes learning about science feel fresh and accessible. After joining TikTok’s Cultural Institutions Collective in 2023, the Museum’s account has nearly quadrupled its following — growing to 177.7K followers.
