STEM FLEX

CLIENT: niswonger foundation

The Niswonger Foundation was established to create opportunities for individual and community growth through education and other sustainable projects throughout Northeast Tennessee. Seeing a need within their community to connect STEM resources and opportunities with interested students, Niswonger collaborated with FableVision to create a platform to bridge the gap: STEM FLEX.

STEM FLEX has multiple audiences: Students, Educators, and Providers (hosts of STEM events or opportunities). Students are encouraged to create a portfolio within the platform that keeps track of the events they’ve participated in, record their interests in extracurriculars or future careers to share with parents and educators, and see personalized recommendations on their event page. Educators can connect with one another on a forum board. They can also track and tag resources suited to their students’ and classes’ interests and view their students' portfolios and achievement badges. Providers can create and promote events and track past attendees' experiences with events.

STEM FLEX is an HTML5 webpage that is fully responsive on mobile and tablet devices.
