Get a head start on Polar Week festivities!
We invite teachers and kids to participate into the Fall Polar Week 2012 taking place worldwide between 16 and 22 September.
International Polar Week coincides with the fall equinox, one of two times a year when everywhere on the planet gets 12 hours of sunlight. With this initiative the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) wants to focus on the science being conducted in the Arctic and Antarctic. New in this edition is the collaboration with Polar Educators International. This global professional network for those that educate in, for, and about the Polar Regions has selected a global core teaching activity linking polar science and polar education. “Flakes, Blobs, and Bubbles: An Ice Core Art Project” is now available in several different languages.
Sandra Vanhove, from the International Polar Foundation’s educational team and steering committee member involved with the organization of the Polar Educators International, warmly welcomes you to participate in this international educational project.
You can also join Polar Week with a number of additional activities such as "The Sunshadows project" conceived by the Foundation and aimed at secondary school youth.
