In-class Students

• Only one computer needs to connect to the online meeting platform. This computer should be connected to the classroom projector and to an audio system in the room so students can see and hear facilitators. Your laptop speakers will not be loud enough.
• Ensure the audio and video are working prior to the workshop and have the camera on your computer facing the students if possible. This helps our facilitators gauge their engagement and understanding.

Remote Students

• Access to your district- or school-approved meeting platform.

10 Minutes Before

• A meeting link will be sent a week prior to the start of your confirmed program. Please review all communication from Science World to ensure that your classroom meets technology requirements.
• Log on to the online meeting platform 10 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. Science World staff are available to test your tech set up if needed. Please email [email protected] to schedule a time.

Be the Bridge

• We need you to be the bridge between the facilitator and your students – we will need your help calling on students to answer our questions or to ask their own.
• Science World will not record the workshop.

We hope that your workshop sparked some interest and curiosity in your students! To keep the learning going, check out our post-workshop resources, where you'll find a curated list of activities, ideas, and websites that build on the knowledge from today's workshop.
