As announced [almost two weeks ago](https://steempeak.com/minnowbooster/@minnowbooster/upcoming-changes-to-minnowbooster-burn-promotion-service), @buildteam has entered into a curation cooperation with @steemstem. To give you an idea what this cooperation looks like, we are giving you an overview.

## What is SteemSTEM and why did we choose it?

SteemSTEM is a community that has been around on Steem for about 3 years, and rewards **excellent STEM content**, which his not just science but also technology, engineering, and mathematics.

The goal is to **improve the quality** of STEM content on the Steem blockchain and, in their words, ["increase the usage of the Steem blockchain for science communication"](https://www.steemstem.io/#!/faq).

A flourishing STEM community consisting of not just experts but also people just generally interested in the subjects has the potential to **draw more eyes to Steem**, and give it an edge over other social networks.

SteemSTEM has an **experienced curation team** which is overseen by the SteemSTEM managers @lemouth and @mobbs. In addition to that, there are the "honour members", which act as mentors, plagiarism finders, and generally, help **facilitate positive community interaction**.

According to the [SteemSTEM Distilled](https://www.steemstem.io/#!/@steemstem/steemstem-distilled--1568713948) (a **weekly curation report**) posted on the 17th of September, SteemSTEM supported that week **57 posts written by 30 authors**.

On top of all of this, SteemSTEM has its own **Steem [user interface](https://www.steemstem.io/)** that, instead of being a Steemit clone, has been crafted to serve the community's needs.

BuildTeam considers SteemSTEM a **valuable part of the Steem ecosystem**, which is why we picked this specific curation initiative to support.

## What does the support look like?

Due to decreased bot-based post promotion, the voting power of the @minnowbooster account tends to sit at 100% a lot. To avoid wasting votes, @minnowbooster **votes on all posts voted by SteemSTEM**.

The voting strength is subject to change (as @minnowbooster will not use all available voting power on curation). It started out as a 10% vote, and has been **increased to 25%**.

If a post has been chosen by the SteemSTEM curators and voted by the @steemstem account, you will see this comment:

## Is it possible to join Cooperation?

If you are also interested in supporting high-quality STEM content on the Steem blockchain, you can simply **trail the @steemstem account** with your vote.

An easy way to do that is to sign up for [Steemvoter](https://beta.steemvoter.com/) and create your own trail, or to [join the Steemvoter SteemSTEM guild](https://beta.steemvoter.com/explore/guild/steemSTEM).

This way, you won't miss out on any voted posts!

And if you want to see **what SteemSTEM is curating**, you can check out the "#curation-feed" channel on the [SteemSTEM discord server](https://discord.gg/tadeza9). Link dropping there is not possible, but you'll see the curation process live.
