Live Stream
On April 8, 2024, ArkansasIDEAS will live stream the solar eclipse from multiple Arkansas locations: DeQueen, Petit Jean State Park, Russellville, and Jonesboro. The stream will feature community members from each location, as well as scientific insights from both national and local physics and astronomy experts. You can watch the live stream at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3zvKwonU8M. Schools in session, as well as those outside the path of totality, are invited to hold school-wide streaming events to join in the excitement.
ArkansasIDEAS also will release a full-length documentary and professional development courses this summer. The resources will feature interviews and footage, along with accompanying classroom resources aligned to the Arkansas K-12 Science Standards.
