Earth in Focus: Insights from Space (Sold-Out)

The planet Earth from nearby space. A satellite can be seen in the corner of the photo

Program description

This program uses the framework of remote sensing and Earth observation from space to provide students with the opportunity to interactively engage in exploring the concepts of light, heat transfer, and spatial resolution. Students will learn about the importance of satellites in our daily lives, and their role in helping us understand Earth’s physical systems.  

This program is virtual via Zoom. We have implemented the following measures to ensure that our virtual programming is safe and secure:

  • Waiting room to prevent uninvited guests from joining the meeting
  • Controls in place to control if and when students can chat and share content
  • End-to-end encryption to ensure proper security
  • Recording of program is not permitted by any party
