TikTok is home to a community of curious minds. From discovering new stories on #BookTok to exploring new cultures and finding new life hacks, #LearnonTikTok encourages our community to continue their journey of joyful discovery. Millions of Canadians come to TikTok each month to express themselves authentically, be entertained and learn new things.

Today, we're thrilled to announce the launch of TikTok's dedicated STEM feed in Canada. This feed offers a viewing experience exclusive to STEM - science, technology, engineering and mathematics - and comes to Canada to empower continued discovery on TikTok and connect a dynamic community of individuals over their shared passion for learning. Canadian users will be able to click into the STEM feed, which will be turned on by default for all Canadian users, to open up a dedicated world of knowledge and education.

The STEM feed will feature Canadian creators and organizations that share enriching educational content, such as @AsapSCIENCE, @cheggbiology, @drrachelbarr, @justin_agustin, @nileredextra, @onlinekyne, @ROMtoronto, @science.bae, @sciencenorth and @wildkrattstv. These creators and many others, are creating a range of content that bridges the world of entertaining, engaging creativity and educational content with their unique styles.

@onlinekyne Attention VECTORS! A linear transformation has arrived ✨ have you learned about vectors before? This is the start of a new series all about linear algebra, where we’ll talk about vectors, matrices, bases, and linear transformations! What linear algebra questions do you have? #linearalgebra #vectors ♬ original sound - Kyne
@science.bae [save this] Rubber EGG 🥚😲🩵! Full science activity details below 👇🏼! My most viral Easter egg experiment from last year is back!! This egg feels so much bigger than usual😅 Materials: 🥚Uncooked egg 🥚Jar or glass with cover 🥚Vinegar 🥚Food colouring Fill a jar with vinegar and food colouring and place the raw egg inside. Cover with a lid to prevent the vinegar from evaporating. Wait 2-3 days. Gently rinse off any shell remains. See how high you can bounce it before it breaks! ✨The SCIENCE✨: The vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate of the shell, dissolving it and producing carbon dioxide gas. Underneath (and something you may notice when peeling a hard boiled egg) is a thin film called the cell membrane. Eggs have a selectively permeable (also referred to as semi-permeable) membrane. One of the things that can pass through this membrane is water. Water always wants to move in the direction of higher -> lower concentration. That means it moves from areas where there is a lot of water to areas where these is a little water 💦. Since there is more water in the vinegar surrounding the egg (and less water inside the egg) the water moves into the egg. Making it get bigger in size✅! Are you going to try this? Tag me if you do 🏷️ 🤩!! 👉🏼Follow @sarahahabibi for more STEM activities for kids! #stem #steam #stemforkids #scienceforkids #scienceisfun #stemeducation #learningthroughplay #sensoryactivity#easteractovoties #kidsplay #eggs #bouncingeggs ♬ origineel geluid - hanna

"When I open my phone, I want to learn something new - because any time I do it honestly feels amazing. The amount of times I have started a sentence with 'I saw a TikTok where...' followed by something really cool I've just learned is shocking and it just goes to show how online education can not only stick with you, but also bring more connections and conversations in your real life. The STEM feed is a great opportunity to reward creators into making more of this valuable content, but also an awesome way for people to find and seek out what I think many users are already craving; a chance to feel a bit of growth, understand a little more about the world and feel a little better about our phone use. And it's a great intersection highlighting how social media and entertainment platforms can actually provide meaningful and substantive benefits to individuals and society, when the effort is there to do so." - Gregory Brown and Mitchell Moffit, @asapscience

"TikTok has changed the game when it comes to science communication and I've heard from so many people that they were inspired to pursue studies in STEM because of videos they watched on my TikTok page. I think a STEM feed will help enrich the experiences of so many TikTok users who love learning as much as I do and it will help encourage more folks to get into STEM!" - Kyne Santos, @onlinekyne

"STEM education sparks curiosity and critical thinking in our children, which is why it's at the root of what I do and love. I am confident that with more access to resources, parents can confidently introduce more STEM into their homes. I am so excited that TikTok sees the value of STEM learning with the launch of its new STEM feed in Canada! Well done TikTok for paving the way!" - Sarah Habibi, @science.bae

To help ensure high-quality STEM content for our community, we are continuing to partner with Common Sense Networks and Poynter. Common Sense reviews all content and ensures it's appropriate for the STEM feed. And Poynter continues to partner to assess the reliability of information presented. If content does not pass both checkpoints, it will not be eligible for the STEM feed.

Eric Berger, Common Sense Networks CEO, said: "We're pleased to continue our support of TikTok’s STEM initiative that utilizes Common Sense Networks' singular expertise in content evaluation. Through this partnership, we're committed to ensuring a valuable, educational and entertaining experience for the TikTok audience."

Neil Brown, president of The Poynter Institute, said: "The Poynter Institute is pleased to be a partner in the ongoing expansion of TikTok's STEM program and contributing to help users in Canada find credible, reliable information in their STEM feed."
