(Science Learning with Interactive Virtual Education)

This free Science LIVE series is a partnership of Technocopia Co and UMASS Medical School

Join us every week in a discussion with scientists in various fields of research, technology and academia. Each session will include a presentation, opportunities for student questions and discussion, and an activity demonstration. Topics will cross the disciplines of life science, chemistry, biotechnology and engineering, and align with Massachusetts state frameworks in science and engineering. These talks are designed for ages 10-13 but all ages and their grown-ups are welcome.

Discussions are hosted live on Zoom from October 16 through December 11; 10am to 11am
