Program Overview

Virtual Researcher On Call (VROC) is the exciting new program offered by Partners In Research. Building on the latest technical advances, VROC brings a live researcher into any classroom in Ontario through the use of videoconferencing methods.

 

By participating in VROC teachers and students hear real-time about the latest advances in health research, science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

 

Best of all, the experience is a two-way interactive session between the students and the researcher where both sides can see and hear each other - providing for a truly dynamic and thought-provoking experience.
