The remote screen control feature in Zoom was used to remotely control instrumentation during an online summer chemistry enrichment session for high school students. This feature was used to draw students into actively participating in chemistry demonstrations where instrumentation was used to gather and analyze data. It can be a challenge to keep students engaged while they are learning in an online environment. Due to being physically absent from the classroom and distant from the teacher, a sense of disconnectedness can be present. We aimed to combat this sense by drawing students into activities by giving several students during any given lesson a chance to interact with the instructor and with each other while remotely controlling digital sensors. Students were surveyed at the conclusion of the summer session and expressed very positive reactions to this technique of enhancing student involvement.
