CCMI’s (CENTRAL CARIBBEAN MARINE INSTITUTE) education team has developed a transformational, interactive education programme using Virtual Live Experiences (VLEs) methods to connect students and the public to real-time coral reef activity, in an informal science setting. Scientists use high tech face masks and streaming computer equipment to deliver live lessons from the underwater and lab environment. Innovative technology enables VLEs to reduce barriers to learning by communicating interactive ‘real-life’ experiences in an informal, scalable science setting.

Register to take part in the Reefs Go Live Broadcasts, which include curriculum-relevant lessons and student worksheets (student and teacher versions).
