April 14, 2009
It is with my most utmost privilege and honor to announce that The New York Hall of Science has won an international video contest sponsored by TANDBERG, the leading global provider of telepresence and high-definition video conferencing solutions. The event was held at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando over the weekend of March 28th-29th.
The Hall’s “Video Champion of the Year” submission, which may be viewed below, showcases the use of virtual visits that enable participants from across the globe to connect, interact and learn science lessons. The video shows instructors teaching different lessons, such as the phases of matter, dissection of a cow’s eye, and the science of sports.
An independent panel of judges selected winners in five categories amongst all companies and organizations currently utilizing video conferencing in the United States and Canada. First selected the Education/Training Content Provider category winner, the Hall’s video went on to take the overall “Video Champion of the Year” award as the winner from the five categories with the best approach to achieving distinctive results through the use of video.
“The energy and enthusiasm of the video communications community continues to inspire us,” said Chris Lawrence, the senior manager of the Hall’s Digital Learning Department. “We are thankful to TANDBERG for this recognition.”
