Virtual Trips

Our Virtual Tours are a one hour experience where students and teachers can log into our interactive platform from a computer, laptop, phone or smartboard and tour The ASRC building. The experience will be guided by a facilitator who will introduce CUNY, The Advanced Science Research and our interdisciplinary research areas. The tour explores different laboratories and learning space, filled with interactive content and videos explaining the research at the ASRC. Students will have time to explore the space on their own and complete a scavenger hunt to discover hidden content. The 1 hour experience also includes a career talk by one of our research scientists and materials on CUNY programs and citywide STEM programs will also be shared.
