Ocean Live with Steve Backshall

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO JOINED US LIVE. YOU CAN NOW WATCH THE FULL LESSON BELOW ON DEMAND.

We're thrilled to launch an exciting new live lesson series - Ocean Live with Steve Backshall. Engaging young people with our ocean is one of the things Steve cares about most, and this series marks the start of a brand new partnership with Nekton, an incredible ocean exploration charity using the latest technology to understand and protect our seas. Join us live from The Deep on 22 September, as primary schools across the world tune in for the first broadcast.

Live from DEEP Campus, the UK's leading underwater training and innovation centre, Steve will explore the cutting-edge technology opening up new frontiers in ocean exploration, and speak to the science team behind some incredible new species discoveries.

Expect live quizzes and interaction, segments on tech, exploration and discovery, and a full set of classroom resources and activities to extend the learning long after the broadcast ends.

Further details to be confirmed over the summer ahead of the new academic year, but we wanted to get this in your diaries now.

If you were already signed up to TVCU or Kids News World, you are good to go and we look forward to having you on the live lesson. Don't forget to submit your questions in advance.
