Education

From the Arctic to the classroom

After the 2018 North Pole expedition, the children shared their experiences with other pupils, including a visit to PS157 in the Bronx with Reach the World. Scholastic News later featured Maika and Olivier’s journey.

This collection brings the original presentations, worksheets and videos together for teachers and families.

Antarctica: live from the field, then back to school

For our planned Antarctic expedition in December 2027, we are planning to work with educational institutions and NGOs to share the experience live while we are in Antarctica and through school visits after our return.

We hope to connect students with the expedition through conversations, observations and updates about polar science, marine life and conservation. Live sessions will depend on connectivity and the expedition schedule.

Afterwards, presentations, photographs and discussions in schools will continue the outreach, building on what we did following the North Pole expedition. Partnerships and activities are still being developed.

Classroom resources

Starting a classroom conversation

Use the North Pole account to ask how plastic can travel to the Arctic. Compare that fieldwork with habitat mapping in the Amazon. Or begin nearby: use the biodiversity worksheet to record what pupils notice in a schoolyard or park.
