Students talk with real scientists, in scheduled web chats for live question and answer sessions or they can post questions on a forum to be answered later.

No special software is needed, just a web browser. Although focused on schools, as a parent or carer you still can take part in open chat sessions. If you can't find the right link to take part, you can always contact the team directly.
