We invite you to use Streaming Science at home, in school, for clubs, and more!
Streaming Science is a college student-driven project-based learning science literacy program. The mission of Streaming Science is to introduce public audiences, especially middle and high school students and teachers, to real-world scientists and critical agricultural and environmental research through multiple interactive communication platforms. Through a series of courses and experiences students are developing videos, podcasts, and live interactive electronic field trips with iPad multimedia backpack communication kits.
