Trine University's STEM with Storm program brought Trine University's lovable mascot to local elementary schools to share fun activities that taught students basic concepts of science and engineering. Now, a new video series will bring the lessons, activities and Storm to individual classrooms, or even to students' homes.

A series of five STEM with Storm videos will premiere on Trine University's YouTube channel at youtube.com/trineuniversity during Discover Engineers Week, Feb. 21-27. The videos explore what an engineer is as well as different types of engineers - such as industrial, electrical, chemical and civil - with fun experiments and demonstrations included each episode.

A collaboration between Trine innovation 1 and Education One, the videos team Storm with Trine students, professors, local businesses and athletes in a high-energy, interactive format similar to popular kids' TV shows.

The series strives to provide an additional resource for educators and parents during a challenging year. Each video incorporates lessons aligned directly to state standards and can easily be added into a science course in any learning platform. Follow-up activities that reinforce concepts can be completed in the classroom or at home.

Educators or parents who would like to receive direct links to the videos and follow-up activities can email Brenda Mescher, Education One assistant director of community connections and compliance, at mescherb@trine.edu.
