NOAA Live! Webinars

While you were at home during school closures, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s Regional Collaboration Network in conjunction with Woods Hole Sea Grant and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, offered this series of webinars with different NOAA expert/topic and a moderated question and answers session throughout so that you could get a peek at what our NOAA scientists do in all the various NOAA offices. These webinars were geared toward grades 2-8 and allowed students to connect with scientists. Webinars were streamed via GoToWebinar, were between 45-60 minutes in length, and were recorded.
