Ocean Live with Steve Backshall
We're thrilled to launch an exciting new live lesson series, Ocean Live with Steve Backshall. Engaging young people with our ocean is one of the things Steve cares about most, and this series marks the start of a brand new partnership with Nekton, an incredible ocean exploration charity using the latest technology to understand and protect our seas. Join us live from The Deep on 22 September, as primary schools across the world tune in for the first broadcast.
Upcoming broadcast
- 45 mins
- Ages 7-11, General audience
Live from DEEP Campus, the UK's leading underwater training and innovation centre, Steve will explore the cutting-edge technology opening up new frontiers in ocean exploration, and speak to the science team behind some incredible new species discoveries.
Expect live quizzes and interaction, segments on tech, exploration and discovery, and a full set of classroom resources and activities to extend the learning long after the broadcast ends. This live lesson will be broadcast in partnership with Children United and Encounter Edu.
Further details to be confirmed over the summer ahead of the new academic year, but we wanted to get this in your diaries now.
Notes for teachers and educators
