Antony Jinman and the Education Through Expeditions team welcome you back to school and are available for school assemblies, “Polar Fun Day” activity days and workshops. For the past three years he has been developing his school outreach program, visiting schools and communicating his passion for expedition to children, hoping to inspire them as he was by his hero Captain Scott. This work has flourished to become Education Through Expeditions.

This project (Education Through Expeditions) is a unique pioneering web based resource for teachers, whose purpose is to inspire and educate children of all ages across the world about global climate change issues and to create a greater respect for the planet.

APECS is an international and interdisciplinary organization for undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, early faculty members, educators and others with interests in Polar Regions and the wider cryosphere. I am proud to have joined the Council and into the role as the head of the Education and Outreach Committee.

“The expedition carried out in 2010 by Antony Jinman was considered to be a great success and has contributed significantly to our understanding of the presence of sea ice algae in the northern Arctic Ocean. As such, we wish to thank Antony for their efforts in obtaining these valuable samples and enabling us to further extend our understanding of this important environment.”

This expedition will also be the first test expedition for Education Through Expeditions and its discussion board platform for schools, ETETeachers. Our discussion board will be joined by scientists and teachers so that students questions can be discussed and expressed as the expedition unfolds. Through testing this platform we aim to help further develop our services at ETE to aid the classroom and inspire children to follow their own aspirations in life.
