Introducing STEMheads

Introducing STEMheads…

You may have seen a LinkedIn post recently where a bright-eyed boy in elementary school interviewed Todd Bingham, President of the Utah Manufacturers Association. That boy is Liam Brown, President of STEMheads, a Utah 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation with a mission to inspire and educate underrepresented youth into exploring STEM fields.

Liam is currently attending 6th grade at Valley View Elementary in the Davis County Spectrum program. He has a strong desire to help those children that have not been given the opportunities to further expand their education and career paths.

Many kids have no idea how many cool STEM jobs exist out there. Through Liam’s inquisitive style and in-depth interviews, their videos help shine a spotlight on the possibilities they otherwise would have never known were available to them.

With support from the Utah Manufacturers Association, Liam is exploring a variety of manufacturers and businesses here in Utah that make cool stuff. With each video, Liam digs in to understand exactly how their products are made. Liam takes youth and education professionals on an innovation journey through state-of-the-art facilities and fun interviews.

To date, they have had participation from the Kaddas Enterprises, the CORES facility at the University of Utah, Taffy Town, Autoliv, and Smith Optics. These videos are geared toward grabbing the attention of youth by promoting Utah manufacturers and the cutting-edge technology and STEM careers that it takes to produce cool products.

If you are interested in showcasing and marketing your company to K-12 students through a fun promotional video, the team is currently looking for clients to highlight for Season 2 of STEMheads.

STEMheads is also working toward providing scholarships to underrepresented youth helping them develop the skills and opportunities to succeed in life. Tax-deductible donations are always welcomed and accepted for anyone interested in funding the mission of STEMheads.
