 Participating "At-Large"
The option of participating "at-large" works well for groups that are located
far from the DMNH Primary Interactive Network (PIN) Site or an existing JASON Network
Site, or for those groups that prefer convenience and flexibility of downlinking
the JASON live broadcast through their own receiving equipment.
What does it mean to become a JASON at-large site?
As a JASON At-Large Site you would:
- receive daily live broadcast segments (single-screen mix) during the two broadcast
weeks (no broadcast on Sunday), downlinked directly into your classroom(s) or auditorium.
- purchase the number of JASON "units" (curricula, online programs access,
and expedition videos) you require. Each unit serves five teachers and 150 students.
- be required to coordinate a training session for your participating teachers.
The Museum can travel to you to conduct the training, or you can send a representative
to a teacher training in Denver and then conduct your own training, or you can send
a representative to the National JASON Educator's Conference, held each year in early
fall in Milwaukee, and then conduct your own training.
- need the following equipment in order to receive the broadcasts: KU Band digital
satellite dish, a General Instruments DSR 4200 V digital receiver (can order through
the Museum), and a rear-screen projection system (recommended) or a Dish Network
(tm) System (this system would allow you to receive only one broadcast segment per
day).
