Engaging Students AFTER the South Pole Outreach Events Media Outreach Bring Your Daughter or Son to Work Day Antarctica Community Night Dream, Explore, Create your own path Over 100 people of all ages came to learn about Antarctica. Co-presented with Dr. Katey Shirey (PolarTREC 2010) to 50+ elementary and middle school-aged kids and parents. IB Physics students designed and ran interactive stations about the DOM, neutrinos, ECW, and Antarctic Fun Facts. Over 400 people came to explore available career options; my colleague and I represented STEM careers.
Engaging Students IN THE CLASSROOM Upward Bound 2 weeks in July; 25 students; overarching theme of interaction (just as neutrinos interact with the South Pole ice)
Ho How can you become a teacher in Antarctica? • Selects 10-20 teachers for Artic & Antarctic expeditions each year • https://www.polartrec.com/about/application • Deadline right around the beginning of school • 2018-2019 application is closed, but think ahead to 2019-2020!
