NASA Spotlites are 90- to 120-second videos that are written, filmed, edited, and produced by students using the engineering design process. Each video targets a science misconception. Webinar attendees will focus on cloud misconceptions and learn how to use the GLOBE Cloud Observer app to collect evidence to correct them. Participants also will learn how to use free resources to film, edit, and publish videos. Ready to get started producing NASA Spotlite videos?
