We normally host 30-50 live events a month, broadcasting live into classrooms around the world. When Covid-19 shutdown classrooms we quickly pivoted to broadcasting our events live into the homes of parents, students and educators. Settling into a routine of 3-4 live events a day, we've hosting almost 600 live events for hundreds of thousands of students at home. 

This really highlights the importance of these types of virtual connections for students. Even in the midst of a global pandemic, they could still connect live with and learn from leading scientists and explorers from around the planet. They were being introduced to challenging issues, exciting places, strong role models and new STEM career paths. They could spend time with sloths in Costa Rica, meet the last two northern white rhinos on the planet in Kenya and look for new species of insects with an explorer in Patagonia. It brought some sense of normalcy for the students and opened up their world in a time when it closed in so many ways.
