In the webinar “Engaging Audiences with Innovative Virtual Programming,” giant screen theaters and film distributors share their creative virtual solutions for trips, camps, and groups, with time at the end for questions. We also get the school district and educator perspective from Erik Leitner, STEM+Computer Science Instructional Facilitator for Broward County Public Schools, which is the sixth largest public school system in the US. Erik shares examples of virtual programming that educators are currently using to support their curriculum and provides insight on tools distributors and museums might incorporate into their programs to enhance engagement.
