Students videoconference with the International Space Station

May 26, 2008 | |

Students and educators recently took part in a 20 minute, multi-point videoconference with the International Space Station. The event was coordinated by NASA’s Johnson Space Center via satellite, while the simultaneous New York–California (coast to coast) event was made possible with a TANDBERG video conferencing solution provided by industry expert IVCi. The event was made accessible to viewers nationwide via a streaming video link on the NASA web site.

This type of virtual excursion is easy to organise through one of the online databases listing available content. There’s one from Polycom and one from CILC.
