International Public Science Day
On March 20th, the Zavala Young Scientists presented, via videoconferencing, to science facilities all around the country as part of International Public Science Day. The presentation that we had given at Austin Science Fun Day had to be adapted to the requirements of the videoconferencing camera. One of the greatest challenges was to condense our "show" to the five-minute window provided. We also were challenged to come with special effects for each group that would be visible and understandable to anyone viewing the show. By opening the pictures and clips below you will get to see glimpses of this memorable occasion behind the scenes.

"What I liked about the day we video conferenced was when other schools from other states talked about what they did. Also I liked talking and explaining my experiment to those same people, and telling them some of the energy sources and how they work."
