[Upbeat music begins…]
[An image appears showing your character with others outside a school.]
Hello and welcome to your STEMventure. Careers in math and science can take you places, like outer space.
[An image of a TV drops into the view showing an outer space picture.]
[Sound plays: woosh.]
Do you want to know what’s out there? Aerospace engineers do.
[The image adds two aerospace engineers and a robot.]
[Sound plays: ding!]
Aerospace engineers:
- Design things for air and space
- Build shuttles, jets, parachutes
- Test airplanes
- Create space robots
Aerospace engineers are really in to everything that flies and goes in to space. They build robots like this one. And explore other planets.
[The image shows street lights outside the school turning on.]
[Sounds play: blast, blast, blast.]
[The image shows the robot and your character flying through space and landing on another planet. The robot moves along and collects samples.]
[Sounds play: clank, clank, clank, woosh, woosh, woosh.]
Ooh, discoveries!
[An image of a swamp appears with your character. A frog jumps by.]
[Sounds play: croak, buzzing.]
Ah, mosquitoes!
[The image shows a mosquito swarm with a close up of a very large mosquito.]
[Sound plays: evil laughter.]
Clothes that repel insects, duct tape, candy: chemical engineers make a lot of cool stuff.
[The image adds a chemical engineer performing experiments.]
[Sound plays: ding!]
Chemical engineers:
- Turn chemicals into useful products
- Experiment with chemicals in a lab
- Create insect-repellent fabric
[Sound plays: bubbling.]
[The image shows mosquito swarm is gone and your character is now wearing insect-repellent clothing.]
Ah, that’s better.
[The image shows a kayaker paddling by.]
Hello!
[The image shows a large eagle which swoops in and grabs your character.]
Whoa! Hold on!
[The image shows the eagle flying through the mountains and dropping your character in a tree near a bird’s nest. Baby birds appear in the nest.]
[Sound plays: birds chirping.]
Hey look! It’s a wildlife biologist in his natural habitat, outdoors.
[The image adds a wildlife biologist.]
[Sound plays: ding!]
Wildlife biologists:
- Study animals in nature
- Protect animals
- Track endangered species
Wildlife biologists study animals and protect endangered species. He’s putting tags on these birds’ legs so he can measure their growth over time.
[The image shows tagged birds flying away and full grown hawks appear. A tagged hawk is weighed and measured by the wildlife biologist.]
[Sound plays: boing.]
Looking good! See you next time.
[The image shows the hawk flying away and your character returning to the school.]
Make discoveries.
[An image of the earth appears with the aerospace engineers.]
Invent new things.
[The image adds the robot and the chemical engineer.]
Protect animals.
[The image adds the wildlife biologist, frog, birds and an eagle.]
You can do any of this, and you can make a lot of money too.
[The image adds multiple money bags.]
[Sound plays: thud.]
