| HPWREN LIVE |
 HPWREN LIVE is a pilot project within the National Science Foundation’s High Performance Wireless Research and Education Network program that focuses on bringing Live Interactive Virtual Explorations to students of all ages.
The primary objectives of HPWREN LIVE are twofold:
 |
| HPWREN LIVE System Requirements |
HPWREN LIVE events require a classroom or conference room with the following: 1) Internet connection, 2) computer, 3) microphone, 4) web camera, and 5) speakers.
LIVE is a pilot project and we are currently experimenting with a vast array of technology and set-ups. If you have experience with similar projects, we'd love to hear about your lessons learned via our contact form.

| HPWREN LIVE Updates |

Roving scientists used the LIVE backpack to take HPWREN booth participants throughout the inventory tent. Here, Susan Teel (NPS) is shown discussing underwater insects with a southern California scientist - relaying the information to the HPWREN booth in real-time - allowing for additional questions from the booth.

| HPWREN LIVE Science Explorer Passport |
 The LIVE Science Explorer Passport is a concept that is currently being developed. The Passport allows students to document their experiences via HPWREN LIVE so that they can review them in the future. We are working with collaborators such as the Pala Learning Center, the California Science Center, the National Park Service, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the California Wolf Center, the Palomar Observatory, the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve, and the San Diego Supercomputer Center to develop a set of curricula to accompany LIVE activities.
The current draft curricula materials are available as follows: |
| HPWREN Overview |
The High Performance Wireless Research and Education Network (HPWREN) is a National Science Foundation funded network research program, which also functions as a collaborative cyberinfrastructure on research, education, and first responder activities. It includes creating, demonstrating, and evaluating a non-commercial, prototype, high-performance, wide-area, wireless network in San Diego, Riverside, and Imperial counties. The network includes backbone nodes at the UC San Diego and San Diego State University campuses, and a number of "hard to reach" areas in remote environments. HPWREN Public Information Materials include photos, facts, figures, HPWREN brochures, and more! |
