ScienceLine is an internet-based question and answer service that connects MRL researchers with K-12 schools. Students and teachers submit questions online and receive a response from one or more UCSB scientists within a week. All the questions and responses are entered into a searchable online archive, which itself is a curriculum supplement for science teachers. The ScienceLine program has evolved to include MRL Multimedia Highlights, which includes video interviews, answers and presentations, and YouTube-style videos on topics in Materials Science.
