Can’t bring your students to the poles? No worries, bring polar scientists into your classroom!
Your students (grades K-12) can participate in a real-time video teleconference (VTC) with scientists at the Palmer Station LTER project in Antarctica. Students can learn about Antarctic food web ecology, as well as how scientists are conducting long-term experiments and observations along the coast of Antarctica to understand our changing climate. Read about the impact of this program in Rutgers Today: “Live From Antarctica: Rutgers Opens a Portal to One of Earth’s Most Remote Places”.

Calls for participation for the 2026 season will open in December 2025. Further information will be posted here.
