Program Length: All programs are 45 minutes long, and include an interactive presentation, multi-media visuals, and Q&A time between students and our expert staff.
Booking Times: Programs are available Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday for 45 minute blocks at 8:15am PST, 9:15am PST, 10:15am PST, or 2:15pm PST. Times are subject to change.
Program Cost: Programs are $90 CAD per session.
Class Size: We recommend a maximum of 30 students. As we are connecting with you remotely, we rely on the adults in the room to assist with group management and facilitate the Q&A portion. The amount of time for individual to ask questions and interact will depend on the number of people in the call.
Technology Requirements: Programs require a strong internet connection, and access to a video/sound system. This can be achieved through a laptop. In the classroom we recommend connecting your laptop to a projector to provide an optimal viewing opportunity for all participating students.
We primarily use the WebEx platform for our programs. After a program is booked you will receive information on how to schedule a Tech Test with the coordinator. This is a 10-15 minute practice run, without the students, to see what the program will look like ahead of time. During this Tech Test we will determine the best platform for your program. Webex works best on the desktop application, which you will be prompted to download at the start of the tech test. Alternatively Webex works on most web browsers, and we recommend using Google Chrome.
Program Perks: the Virtual Aquaclass gives you one-to-one access with an expert educator. Each program will come with curated resources to help you continue the conversation with your students. This program is a great resources as a pre or post add-on to any outreach program, on-site school program, self-directed visit, or standalone experience. Program topics may be customized depending on availability and subject.
Program Guide: Choose your program topic from the program guide. If you are interested in a premium program, please inquire to [email protected] prior to booking. Teachers can request a topic when they book their tech test.
