A dedicated section on TikTok will inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators through a diverse array of verified STEM content.

TikTok has unveiled its global STEM feed in Saudi Arabia, marking the first introduction of this feature in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This initiative aims to diversify content and motivate young Saudis to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), merging education with entertainment.

The STEM feed offers users high-quality, verified content on STEM subjects, promoting critical thinking, creativity, and lifelong learning. The TikTok community in Saudi Arabia will have access to educational videos designed to ignite curiosity and foster deeper engagement in STEM fields, inspiring the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers.

Kinda Ibrahim, Regional General Manager of Operations at TikTok Middle East, Turkey, Africa, Pakistan, Central and South Asia, stated: “The launch of the STEM feed in Saudi Arabia represents a significant advancement in our mission to inspire and educate the next generation of innovators. By providing a platform dedicated to STEM content, we aim to spark curiosity, nurture creativity, and empower young individuals to explore the limitless possibilities within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to blending education with entertainment, helping young minds unlock their potential and drive change.”

A key aspect of the STEM feed is its emphasis on collaborative learning and content discovery, enabling users to engage with educational materials tailored to their interests. TikTok is collaborating with local organizations like Majarra, a leading provider of credible Arabic content, to ensure the feed aligns with Saudi Arabia’s developmental objectives. Furthermore, TikTok plans to expand its partnerships with educational platforms to enhance the feed’s offerings.

Ammar Haykal, CEO of Majarra, remarked: “We are excited to be a strategic partner in the launch of the new STEM feed on TikTok in Saudi Arabia. Collaborating with prominent platforms like TikTok allows us to reach and engage the youth, providing them access to useful, credible, and high-quality Arabic content that Majarra offers. This partnership is a significant step toward empowering more individuals with knowledge and showcasing the best Arabic content online, particularly in critical fields essential for the future of our region, such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.”

The platform’s creator community will be crucial to the feed’s success. Saudi creators like @ana.ostori, @qadrat_rawan, @abdullah_yw, and @mechatrook, known for their engaging content on science experiments, technology, and mathematics, will motivate youth to explore STEM careers. By featuring diverse creators from Saudi Arabia and beyond, the STEM feed aims to ignite a passion for discovery and innovation among the Kingdom’s youth.

Globally, STEM content has thrived on TikTok, with nearly 10 million STEM-related videos shared in the past three years. From hands-on experiments to coding tutorials, TikTok offers endless opportunities for creators to share knowledge and inspire audiences.

To ensure the integrity of the STEM feed, all content will undergo a comprehensive review by TikTok teams and partners like Common Sense Networks and Poynter. These organizations will assess the educational value and accuracy of the material, ensuring that only high-quality content is featured.

The launch of the STEM feed in Saudi Arabia highlights TikTok’s commitment to fostering educational communities and empowering users to explore topics vital to the Kingdom’s future. By merging entertainment with education, the platform aims to equip Saudi Arabia’s youth with the tools and knowledge necessary to navigate a rapidly changing world.

As TikTok continues to evolve, the STEM feed is expected to adapt to the needs of its users, enhancing their educational experiences and encouraging them to pursue careers in STEM. This initiative represents a significant step in supporting Saudi Arabia’s vision for innovation and development, providing a dynamic platform for learning and discovery.
