Pollinators and Their Importance

The video session introduces the Cyberchase series and its focus on math and STEM activities. It discusses the importance of pollinators like bats and butterflies, and provides instructions for a hands-on pollination activity. The session also covers the creation of seed bombs to attract pollinators and offers resources for further learning. The presenters emphasize the role of pollinators in ecosystems and encourage participants to engage in community activities to support pollinator habitats.
