A Chrysalis is the form a caterpillar takes before it emerges from its cocoon as a fully formed moth or butterfly. Chrysalis Streaming was named after this to represent a similar phenomena - change, namely changing perceptions around STEM amongst black and brown students.
As referenced throughout today’s session, there is a discrepancy between the percentage of black & brown Americans residing in the United States and the percentage that are pursuing STEM degrees and entering the STEM workforce. Chrysalis was created to address this by creating culturally relevant STEM stories and partnering with black & brown role models in STEM careers to feature the amazing things they do!
Our on-demand streaming platform features culturally relevant original animated stories and influencer-created videos encompassing a wide variety of STEM disciplines.
