Scientists answered questions in a way that the students could understand. The broadcast was well planned and very insightful. The students were very impressed.

Thank you SO much for the webcast yesterday. It was a great experience for the kids and for me. The science information was a perfect fit for our Geoscience unit, but more importantly, it showed the students science in action and some of the possibilities that await if they want to pursue a career in science; I really can’t begin to describe what a positive experience this was for us.”

If you are interested in scheduling a broadcast during Expedition 379 (January 18 – March 20, 2019), please note: Expedition 379 will be operating at a very high southern latitude near Antarctica, which is on the edge of satellite coverage. Our exact position on any given day, coupled with current atmospheric conditions and other factors, may reduce internet connectivity capabilities and limit out ability to conduct live ship-to-shore events. If your event is impacted, we will try to reschedule you for a later date during the expedition.

Once your date is confirmed, here are a few things you can do to prepare:

Explore some of our FREE materials: posters, models, core pencils and more!
Make sure you have a good internet connection available.
Follow the current expedition on Facebook and Twitter.
Show your audience the Introduction to the JR presentation and other educator resources.
Watch a couple of our videos. We recommend JR Time Machine; Core on the Floor, Drilling Operations 24/7, and Life on Board the JR for starters.
Have your audience brainstorm questions to submit to scientists and ship staff during the video broadcast.
