Students wishing to escape the freezing temperatures on Tuesday warmed up by stepping into the C-SPAN Interactive Multimedia Presentation Center as it rolled into Lubbock for part of a regional tour including high schools and other Big 12 universities.
The bus’s interior offers students a chance to learn more about C-SPAN’s mission and the political process with interactive technology on computers, iPads, and touchscreen TVs.
As a part of the C-SPAN in the Community program, the tour travels the country to give students and educators a glimpse of the resources and the access C-SPAN has to House and Senate proceedings and educational and political resources.
According to its website, C-SPAN broadcasts “gavel-to-gavel proceedings of the US House of Representatives and the US Senate” and “other forums where public policy is discussed, debated and decided” as a public service free from analysis or commentary.
While it was in Lubbock, the bus also visited the Talkington School for Young Women Leaders before continuing to College Station and Waco later this week.
