Streaming Science brings science to life through interactive engagement experiences that connect students, scientists, and public audiences in real time and virtual spaces. College students collaborate directly with researchers to design and deliver immersive learning opportunities that make scientific discovery accessible, engaging, and meaningful.
Electronic Field Trips (EFTs)
Electronic Field Trips are live, interactive experiences that connect audiences with scientists, research sites, and laboratories without leaving their classroom or home. Streaming Science offers two formats:
Live Streamed EFTs — These events are broadcast from a single location to many audiences at once. Students and educators can join from anywhere to observe demonstrations, explore research environments, and interact with scientists through guided questions and activities.
Scientist Online — This format creates a more personalized, small-group experience that functions like a live video conference. Participants engage directly with scientists in real time, allowing for deeper conversations, questions, and connections.
Virtual Reality (VR) Tours
Streaming Science students also develop immersive virtual reality (VR) experiences that allow audiences to explore scientific spaces and environments from anywhere. These VR tours are part of the Labs and Landscapes series and are also created in partnership with The iVisit Project.
For Educators and Lifelong Learners
Streaming Science engagement experiences are designed for use in classrooms, after school programs, and informal learning environments. Educators and program leaders can use Electronic Field Trips and VR tours to introduce students to scientific concepts, engage them in real-time learning, and connect them with working scientists.
These experiences help students explore STEM careers, ask questions, and see how science is conducted in real-world settings. Whether participating in a live session or exploring a virtual environment, learners are invited to actively engage with science in ways that spark curiosity and deepen understanding.
