What's the difference between a
Virtual Field Trip program and a
Virtual Traveling Scientist program?
Virtual Field Trip: We bring the outside indoors when Inside the Outdoors Program Naturalists take your students on a live-streamed science and nature exploration at a local park or wilderness area in one of the most bio-diverse areas of the world, Orange County.
Virtual Traveling Scientist: Inside the Outdoors Traveling Scientists will engage students virtually in content focused, hands-on/minds-on science activities that can be experienced in a classroom or distance learning setting.
Participation in our Virtual Program will require your school to provide a platform for video conferencing capabilities for your class (Zoom, Skype, Google Hangouts, etc.).
These are fee-based programs. Some limited grants will be available.
Registration is now open! Email questions to itoregistration@ocde.us.
