TikTok is adding a dedicated feed for STEM content

TikTok is introducing a new feed dedicated to STEM content in honor of Pi Day, the company announced on Tuesday. The feed, which will appear alongside the app's “Following” and “For You” feeds, aims to give users a dedicated space to explore videos related to science, technology, engineering and math. The STEM feed will be rolling out to users in the U.S. in the coming weeks.

The launch expands on TikTok's ongoing test of topic feeds, which are currently available in select markets. Topic feeds allow users to explore content across categories like Gaming, Food, Fashion and Sports. Swiping between the feeds shows you content for each category without having to specifically search for it. TikTok is now adding STEM to this list of topics.

The company says STEM-related hashtags have received over 110 billion views to date. TikTok has designed the STEM feed to serve as a destination for users looking to dive into these topics further.

"Whether encouraging aspiring scientists to work out experiments in comments sections or helping a new programmer learn to code, the STEM feed provides a space for co-learning, inspiration, and enrichment," the company said in a blog post.
