NOAA picks documentary film for educational kiosk network

January 9, 2011

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that it has selected the documentary "Students Saving the Ocean" for its "Oceans Today" kiosk network.

The Oceans Today network hosts more than 25 kiosks throughout the world and provides current ocean news through its 32-inch touch screen displays. Directly above the screen is an echo monitor, and this set-up allows for the visitor to have a fully engaged, interactive experience, according to the NOAA.

Students Saving the Ocean is a documentary short that tells the story of local organizations' and students' efforts to improve the health of the ocean.

The Ocean Today kiosks were designed to provide a highly dynamic, visitor-friendly experience, according to the NOAA website for the network.
