This collaborative effort between Poynter and Common Sense Networks will deliver a wide variety of STEM content with the help of independent organizations that will maintain a steady stream of useful information and content verification.
In their announcement, TikTok said: “These education-based communities already thrive across TikTok. In fact, STEM-related hashtags have received over 110 billion views to date, connecting a dynamic community of people over shared interests. We designed the STEM feed to serve as a destination for those looking to dive into these enriching topics further. Whether encouraging aspiring scientists to work out experiments in comments sections or helping a new programmer learn to code, the STEM feed provides a space for co-learning, inspiration, and enrichment.”.
