[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.]
