In response to the global quarantine and shutdown of schools, Slooh.com is releasing a new Student Membership tier for just $20 per year, and as low as $10 per student per year when purchased in quantity by school groups. Slooh is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Key Features For Students
