Skype a ScientistWe're connecting scientists with classrooms (and more) across the globe
Skype a Scientist has a database of thousands of scientists and helps them connect with classrooms, families, libraries, scout troops, and more all over the globe! We give students the opportunity to get to know a real scientist and get the answers to their questions straight from the source.
WHAT SCIENTISTS ARE SAYING
"I talked to a ... class about brains and how we make decisions. The teacher told me that one of the students' parents reached out to say that her daughter talked about how much she loved the session all day."
"At the end of my second session with the class, the students sang a song that they made up titled "Christine the scientist." It was really cute and totally unexpected. "
"[My] favorite moment was when the teacher told me they were learning how to code in computer class. He recalled reminding the students that coding is not just for the boys. I said "it's true! I code every day and I'm a girl! I'm right here!" Two girls in the back of the room threw up their hands and jumped out of their seats with the biggest smiles. These moments emphasize the need for diverse (for all forms of identity) role models."
