On October 10, 2018, Sherwood Middle Academic Magnet School’s 6th Grade Advanced Science class was one of seven classrooms across North America selected to participate in a live-streamed National Geographic broadcast. Students journeyed on a virtual field trip to Sydney, Australia with National Geographic Explorer Dr. Emma Camp, a marine bio-geochemist researching the impacts of future climate change on coral reefs. Students enjoyed interacting with Dr. Camp, posing questions, learning about her STEM career, and discovering how science and technology can be utilized for environmental monitoring and protection. The broadcast was recorded by National Geographic and is accessible online.
