Welcome, parents, teachers, and students!

You're invited to join a special virtual ID Education Day organized by Discovery Institute. Initially hosted by Great Northern University in Spokane, WA, this student-focused program is now available as an on-demand virtual event ideal for families, home school groups, and private school classrooms. Choose between a full-day, half-day, or 40-minute modular approach to fit your schedule.

In addition to 4 TEDx-style video lectures by our engaging presenters, we've also included classroom activities, discussion questions, and more resources for continued learning. See full event agenda below.

Join us to learn about the intelligent design of life's codes, from precise DNA sequences and complex protein machines to the creatures themselves that rely on these ingenious technologies.
