4. Work with Local Schools and Classrooms

Share the resources on this website with your local school districts or after school groups. Work with teachers to prepare students who you invite to your launch party.

Pre-Launch Party – If hosting an event on the day of the launch isn't possible, consider hosting your party before the launch to prepare your audience for the live webcast.

Post-Launch Party – An edited copy of the live webcast will be available within hours after the launch. It's the perfect addition to those of you who might want to host a party after the launch.
