Our vision is to create and sustain a successful approach to professional development in the polar regions, fostering enthusiasm and awareness to inspire the next generation of scientists and a
STEM-literate public.
We will do this by:üImproving educators’ STEM content knowledge of the Polar Regions and transfer to their learning settingüIncreasing educators’ knowledge and use of STEM practices with their students in their learning setting üBuilding educators’ STEM identity üIncreasing the STEM collaborations between formal and informal educators üIncreasing students understanding and engagement in the polar regions and interest in polar-related STEM careers üDeveloping long-term professional relationships between the education and research communities
