What is a geoBus Virtual Workshop?…
They are 45-minute-long free interactive sessions featuring a GeoBus demonstrator live on screen (facilitated via a video call) and interactive activity kits which are posted to you ahead of time.

The GeoBus activity kits vary depending on the workshop you wish to run but many include 3D glasses, 3D pictures and models to construct, and can be kept by the students or disposed of at the end of the workshops. They also have the added advantage that we can run multiple workshops simultaneously with multiple classes joining the same video call.
