[SEMCO] NOAA Live! Webinars and resources for children during school closures

[Grace Simpkins]

We are very excited to announce that the NOAA Live! Webinar Series for
children in grades 2nd-8th has hit the 1-month mark and will continue
through June 12th!

This series is a collaboration between NOAA's Regional Collaboration
Network and Woods Hole Sea Grant at WHOI.  Webinars are live-streamed via
GoToMeeting every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 11 am EDT.  Each webinar
features a different NOAA expert/topic and a moderated question and answer
session throughout so that you can get a peek at what our NOAA scientists
do in all the various NOAA offices.     Next week features: Science on a
Sphere mobile app (Monday), Sharks (Wednesday), The job of an oil response
scientist (Friday), and the list goes on! You can see a full listing of the
completed webinars as well as the ones coming up in the next few weeks at
our NOAA Live! Website:  bit.ly/NOAALive4Kids

playlist

We also want to remind you that we have a curated website of live webinars,
games, activities, and more geared towards kids and families at home during
this school closure at:
