Description
Science Out Loud is an original web series written and hosted by MIT students, spun out of the MIT+K12 Videos pilot program. With episode-lengths all less than 5 minutes, these videos take the traditional concepts taught in middle and high school science, engineering, and math classes and puts them in a context completely outside the classroom. You won’t find a single equation in these videos - instead, they feature the gamut of hosts and personalities who will take you into labs, rivers, and the sky!
