PolarTREC (Teachers and Researchers Exploring and Collaborating) is currently accepting applications for a field-based research experience in the polar regions for 2018-2019 from U.S. informal science educators as well as formal U.S. classroom teachers (teaching in grades 6-12).
Applications will be to participate in field research learning experiences during the 2018 (usually Arctic) or 2018-19 (usually Antarctic) field seasons.
Informal educators should have the primary focus on outreach to middle and high school students and/or professional development for their teachers.
The application deadline is Monday, 2 October 2017.
The teacher and informal educator application is available at
