Abstract:	Science is finding its way into new corners of the internet thanks to the flexibility of social sharing platforms, and platforms like Twitch.tv are making these incursions interactive thanks to built-in tools for chat, polling, and other active learning techniques. This platform also has the potential to be self-funding; the Twitch community is willing and culturally accustomed to financially support content they like through built-in donation mechanisms. In this poster, we review the potential of Twitch.tv for science education, and use the CosmoQuest platform as an example of building toward success.
