ABOUT THE PROGRAM
PolarTREC is a three-year (2007-2009) program of the Arctic Research
Consortium of the U.S. (ARCUS) that focuses on a wide variety of
research activities in both the Arctic and Antarctic during and after
the International Polar Year (IPY). PolarTREC pairs K-12 teachers with
researchers to improve science education through authentic polar
research experiences. The program integrates research and education to
produce a legacy of long-term teacher-researcher collaborations,
improved teacher content knowledge, and broad public interest and
engagement in polar science. The IPY presents an outstanding opportunity
for researchers to share their passion for polar research through topics
that naturally engage students and the wider public. PolarTREC is funded
by the National Science Foundation.
