Dear all,
UK Polar Network festival coordinator Connor and I have had a UKPN workshop accepted for the Cheltenham Science Festival as part of their school's week in June. We are seeking an additional volunteer.
If you are interested, please provide 1-2 paragraphs explaining your motivation: why you are interested in volunteering and how volunteering will help you accomplish your goals. You should also include details on where you are based. Unfortunately we can only accommodate 1 volunteer for this event and therefore the decision will be made based on motivational statements and geographic location.
The festival will cover accommodation the night before (Thursday eve) and travel expenses within reason.
The workshop will be run five times on June 10th in person in Cheltenham. Our plan can be summarised as follows:
The session will be an hour with a brief introduction to polar science in general followed by three core components. The first will be done as a whole group, the second two will be done as two groups who will then switch, and everyone will convene again at the end for some concluding thoughts. The three core components are:
1. Albedo effect experiment
2. Antarctic food web construction
3. Arctic v. UK climate and social impacts
If you'd like to do this, email me (chloebnunn@gmail.com) with your motivational statement by 5pm on the 18th Feb!
Kind regards,
Chloe and Connor
