Video Conferencing
Video conferencing is a relatively new concept which is able to easily connect people from diverse backgrounds and destinations. By utilising video conferencing programs, your students can connect with scientists and programs not only within your suburb or town, but all over the world. Speak with scientists from NASA, explore an Alaskan Aquarium or see live surgical procedures so that you may ask questions and interact with doctors as they are working. The possibilities opened through video conferencing is endless, and more and more institutions are incorporating video conferencing into their outreach programs.
