Allow STTE to share what I think will be a game-changer in education.

Success Through Technology Education (STTE) Foundation, a nonprofit launched in 2018 in the Borderplex region, is on a twenty-year journey to make a generational impact. We believe providing innovation with experiential learning experiences will help prepare the next generation for the global challenges the economy will face.

Most recently, STTE developed the first-ever Augmented Reality Science Fair, which has grown into a world challenge and currently has nine countries signed up to compete. This STEAM competition addresses climate change and challenges students to develop energy transition solutions. We even partnered with Carnegie Mellon University, which will help us roll out a phygital product that will complement the student innovations.

We must say that after reflecting on some of our most innovative programs, SayWhat.tv is one we believe has a ton of potential to make a generational impact.

Let us tell you why.

One significant factor always surfaces when designing and deploying STEAM and entrepreneurial programs. How can you pique the interest of youth in STEAM, mass-market them, and sustain a high level of student engagement?

That is where our lasted program comes in and addresses maximum student engagement and knowledge retention. SayWhat.tv is a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) news platform that educates youth in STEM or STEAM, entrepreneurship, and issues that matter.

After countless hours producing and iterating our content, the team at SayWhat?! finally discovered a unique formula that combines short film with the news.

We are excited to release the latest SayWhat.tv episode, which is about one of the most critical subjects in history, climate change.

Please check it out and share it with your coworkers, family, or students.

Imagine if El Paso wrote the story on how education saved the planet? SayWhat?!
