CIRES/NOAA Science@Home

The CIRES/NOAA Science-at-Home webinar series is excited to launch again this fall semester after a successful spring series. This series is intended to connect middle and high school classrooms that are now in the virtual/remote learning landscape with scientists. Each webinar features a 10-15 minute presentation by scientists about how they got into science, what they do as a scientist, and what it is that they research, followed by 10-15 minutes of live Q&A. These webinars will be held weekly on Tuesdays at 1:00 pm MT during the fall semester (possibly into the spring).
