Background
Background
Between November 2022 to February 2024, the California Academy of Sciences has hatched an impressive total of 10 African penguin chicks over the period of 14 months!
Steinhart Aquarium biologist Sparks Perkins reflects, “To hatch 10 chicks in just 14 months is truly remarkable, especially if you consider the previous 10 chicks hatched over a period of 10 years. Our penguin care team has years of training in the art and science of egg incubation and chick rearing. We are thrilled to be putting our expertise towards caring for the next generation of African penguins in human care.”

How does it work?
How does it work?
This program lasts approximately 20 minutes, is taught by a team of professional educators, and is broadcast to multiple classes at the same time via YouTube Live. Students will interact with the educators through quizzes and movement.
This program also works well for classes that meet asynchronously because the recording will be shared.
Connection & technology information
Connection & technology information
A week before the session, registered parties will receive an email containing the unique YouTube Live destination for the broadcast. If you registered on behalf of multiple classes, forward this along to your buddy teachers.
We highly recommend testing—in advance of the program date—whether the device you plan to use can access YouTube Live. If you can see our Live Penguin Cam, you should also be able to watch other Academy livestreams.
Please note that the Academy cannot control your district’s security settings.
If you or your students’ district devices cannot access YouTube Live or YouTube videos, you can instead play the embedded Recording, which we will post within 48 hours of the broadcast.
Our programs are designed so that students can participate asynchronously
If you have questions or need us to resend the email (check your junk folder first), please contact us at clicking the button below. We also recommend adding distancelearning@calacademy.org to your contacts to help ensure your district's email domain accepts our messages.
