Passport to Knowledge broadcasts live from NSSL

"Live from the Storm," an interactive electronic field trip produced by "Passport to Knowledge," broadcast live from NSSL this spring. "Passport to Knowledge" is an ongoing series of interactive learning experiences designed to inspire students about science by providing information more current than that found in textbooks.

The first program, called "The Who, What, Where, When and Why of Weather," aired March 7 and had a segment on IPEX, NSSL's Intermountain Precipitation EXperiment. The second program "Research to the Rescue," was broadcast live from NSSL on April 11. Both programs were broadcast on PBS nationwide. A panel of NOAA Weather Partners scientists and forecasters answered questions during the broadcasts that were emailed by students watching the program around the country. This real-time interaction with NOAA forecasters and scientists through broadcast TV, videotape, email, and the Internet gave students an up-to-date look at how cutting-edge research and new technologies can make our lives safer.
