If you love to teach about Polar (and Star), be invited to join this summer for the Polar Star - Online Summer School 5th - 9th July 2021
Dear teachers, last year the POLAR STAR team (including the Institute of Geophysics PAS) organized a very fun and engaging online summer course with 30 participants. This year we repeat the adventure and we would like to invite you to join us!
Through games, challenges and a variety of workshops, you will learn the POLAR STAR methodology for integrating interdisciplinarity and the various flavors of STEAM in your daily practice. You will also learn how to assess your students in innovative ways, giving a special focus on the development of skills. As an added flavor, you will also have the opportunity to explore a set of activities already prepared for you and your students in the fields of Polar research and Astronomy.
