Project Albatross is a 100% volunteer initiative that exists to provide resources and instruction for Biology learners who are not able to access regular school-based instruction during the COVID-19 crisis. It has two major goals:
Connect biology students who want to learn in a synchronous learning environment, but are currently unable to due to the closure of their school with biology teachers who are able to provide 30-minute lessons on particular topics.
Provide students with a collection of biology learning resources that have been vetted and curated by biology educators.
Every teacher who volunteers to help Project Albatross is a crucial part of the Project Albatross Team. The development and maintenance of the Project Albatross infrastructure is facilitated by an organizing team of educators:
