An organization from Canada called Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants aims to inspire the next generation of scientists, explorers, and conservationists by bringing science, exploration, adventure, and conservation into classrooms through virtual speakers and field trips with leading experts across the globe. The organization has hosted more than 400 live Google Hangouts reaching tens of thousands of students—and it’s completely free for classrooms. Each month during the school year, the program hosts 20-plus, full-day Google Hangout events consisting of 20 to 30 speakers focusing on themes such as oceans, biodiversity, women in science, and space exploration. The Hangouts are announced each month via the program’s newsletters, and they are updated regularly on social media.
