Ryan Hollister, a participant in the AGI-NASA Triad program for geoscience education, is one of six leading science teachers taking part in a new Science Friday program – a program in which you might participate, too!
For 25 years Science Friday has introduced top scientists to public radio listeners. In addition, Science Friday now produces award-winning digital videos, original web articles, and educational resources.
Science Friday is now unveiling its "biggest, most ambitious education project." It's called the Science Friday Educator Collaborative. Six teachers who have found inspiration in Science Friday media have put together a collection of teaching resources that anyone can use to do the science covered on Science Friday.
Hollister, for example, is introducing a high-tech tool that enables users to go on a "360-degree geologic expedition." What's more, Science Friday is looking for additional science educators to apply to participate as collaborators.
