2011 Schedule
New!! Earthcast Echo |
On April 22nd, Earth Day, the Earthbridges community gathers experts in the field, Kindergarten to college-level students, teachers and others with an interest in the environment to broadcast live on the internet for 24 hours. This yearly event, called Earthcast, has been archived at earthbridges.net. Local NH schools participated in this event and their archives are listed here. This year, 2011, Earth Day falls on most schools' vacation. Unfortunately, many schools will not participate and we will not be broadcasting for 24 hours. But we will do the best we can during the day broadcasting live from our classroom studio! Rye Jr. High's schedule is as follows for the 7th grade live shows.
As an extension to this yearly event, we hope to continue interest to broadcast "echoes" throughout the year.
