Earth Explorers

The mission of Earth Explorers is to open doors to science and 21st century skills by educating and mentoring underrepresented youth. We use video and new media technology to connect young people to deep networks of community resources. Our students learn video and new media technology, interviewing and storytelling. We introduce them to working scientists at institutions like NCAR and NOAA. They interview their scientists, video their lab and field work and return to the video lab to produce 5 to 8 minute videos. The students present their videos at a public gala with the school, the scientists and the community.
