Spanish Article Title: Puertorriqueño formará parte de misión científica al Polo Sur
A news story about PolarTREC teacher Armando Caussade traveling to the South Pole as part of the IceCube project in December 2014. This resource is in Spanish.
IceCube announced that Armando Caussade, a STEM educator from Puerto Rico, will travel to the South Pole, Antarctica, during the 2014–2015 polar season to support maintenance work on the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. An experienced communicator inside and outside the classroom, Caussade is passionate about science and, in particular, astronomy.
This versatile activity was inspired by my own Antarctic voyage (Lollie Garay, Oden Expedition 07) and The Amazing Race. As my students followed the journey through the Antarctic Seas on a USGS map, I realized what a great opportunity this was for them to "see" where I was in a part of the world so foreign to us
PolarTREC teacher Lollie Garay is taking part in an International scientific cruise aboard the Swedish icebreaker, Oden. About 120 students from 10 schools participated in the event. Due to some technical difficulties, there is no archive from the event. Audio and a PDF of the presentation slides is available.
