BeanStem creates fun, thoughtful videos on science, technology, arts, and nature for those who love the world around us. We want to inspire you to see things a little differently, to find the beauty in the trees, bugs, machines, and other humans around you!
Alongside accuracy and humor, we greatly value accessibility and transparency. Every full-length video has a full transcript and bibliography here on the site, and we manually create and verify captions in English (no more YouTube auto-generated mistakes!).
If you ever find any mistakes, or if you have any ideas for how to improve accessibility, please let us know!
