About Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants
Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants is an educational organization that aims to knock down classroom walls to transport students from their seats to the frontlines of science, exploration, conservation, and adventure. Each month, they host a series of virtual, live experiences that expose students to new perspectives and give them a chance to ask questions directly to those who are the leaders in their fields.
