Schools on Board: Opportunity for two Northern teachers/students: Field program A national team of high school students and accompanying teachers (S2-S4; Gr.10-12; secondaire 4/5) is created from selected schools, to participate in the research activities of the ArcticNet science team, onboard the Canadian research icebreaker (CCGS Amundsen). Participation is very limited (only 10-12 spaces available for each field program). Spaces are only given to schools. Interested students and teachers should review the criteria and encourage their schools to apply for space. (School Selection Criteria, Student Selection Criteria, Teacher Selection Criteria) Programming 'onboard' includes presentations, group projects, lab activities, fieldwork, and lectures with graduate students and nationally/internationally recognized scientists from the university and government sector. As ArcticNet is multidisciplinary in nature, students are introduced to research objectives and methods of a number of different disciplines, including (but not limited to): oceanography, physical geography, biology, chemistry, meteorology, zoology, geology, and climatology. The educational program also introduces participants to 'two ways of knowing' – the traditional and scientific approaches to understanding the complexities and interconnectedness of the Arctic environment.
