Mission Unstoppable is an educational and entertaining show that aims to inspire and educate young people, specifically girls, about the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The show premiered on CBS in September 2019 and is hosted by actress and singer Miranda Cosgrove, alongside field correspondents Erica Hernandez and Nabeel Muscatwalla.

Each episode of Mission Unstoppable features interviews with accomplished women who have made significant contributions to the STEM fields. The interviews explore the women's work, their passion for what they do, and what motivates them. The show highlights how diverse, exciting, and fun STEM is, and how it can be used to create innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing problems.

The show is divided into segments that cover a range of STEM topics, from the cutting-edge and futuristic, such as artificial intelligence and robotics, to the more traditional and proven, such as agriculture and medicine. Some of the interviewees on the show include scientists, engineers, inventors, and entrepreneurs, all of whom share their knowledge and experiences in a way that is easy to understand and engaging.

In addition to the interviews, Mission Unstoppable also features hands-on experiments and demonstrations to help viewers better understand STEM concepts. For instance, in one episode, Erica Hernandez demonstrates how to make a simple volcano using household materials, while in another episode, Nabeel Muscatwalla explores the physics of roller coasters.

The show aims to promote diversity and inclusivity in the STEM fields by featuring women from a range of backgrounds, cultures, and identities. The show also highlights the importance of mentorship and encourages viewers to seek out mentors to help them pursue their STEM interests.

In one episode, the cameras follow the work of Dr. Lisa Su, the CEO of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a tech company that produces computer processors. Dr. Su, who is an accomplished engineer, talks about her journey to becoming a CEO and the challenges she has faced along the way. She also emphasizes the importance of having role models and mentors in the STEM fields.

Another episode features Dr. Kesha Williams, a software engineer, who talks about her work on artificial intelligence and the potential of AI to transform many aspects of our lives. Dr. Williams also shares her experiences as a Black woman in the tech industry and the importance of diversity and inclusivity in creating innovative solutions.

Overall, Mission Unstoppable is a fun, educational, and inspiring show that encourages young people, particularly girls, to explore the fascinating world of STEM. Through engaging interviews, hands-on experiments, and demonstrations, the show shows that STEM is not just for a select few, but for everyone who is curious and interested in exploring the world around them. The show is a great resource for parents and educators who are looking for ways to inspire young people to pursue careers in STEM fields.
