PARTNERING WIH GALACTIC POLYMATH

How we work to build broader impact

  • We design lessons to translate your research into narrative based and media-rich lessons for K-12 classrooms. We always align lessons to standards in Science, Math, Language Arts, and Social Studies to improve uptake across the United States.

  • Unpack dense scientific concepts with compelling video. We design engaging multimedia that supports the lesson and connects the dots for students and your audience.

  • After we conduct our own research to get caught up on your topic, we draft the script, storyboard the lesson, design animations, provide narration and audio. Everything you need to broadcast your research to classroom and audiences!

  • We will actively maintain your lessons to improve usability, continually promote your lessons and support our network of teachers.
