I CAN BE WHAT?! gives kids a sneak peek into STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) careers.

A zookeeper, a chocolatier, an athletic trainer – she jumps headfirst into a typical day, learning not only what makes their jobs fun and rewarding, but the responsibilities, skills, and education involved in doing their work.

SERIES PRODUCED BY WXXI, THE SERIES IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND AS A LOCALLY PRODUCED EDUCATIONAL SHOW THAT SPOTLIGHTS STEAM CAREERS. I CAN BE WHAT?! IS SUPPORTED BY THE WALDRON RISE FOUNDATION AND THE LILLIPUTIAN FOUNDATION
