Dear Cryolist- please share this opportunity with students and educators in your community. Flyer attached.
Call for High School Juniors- Apply to the Joint Science Education Project (JSEP) and the Joint Antarctic School Expedition (JASE)
Application deadline: 31 January 2017
The three-week JSEP program takes place entirely in Greenland. Participants from the United States, Denmark, and Greenland live and work together while exploring current research and completing their own inquiry-based investigations. The program includes two weeks of extensive field experiences near Kangerlussuaq and a final week with a visit to Summit Station, the U.S. research facility located at the top of the Greenland ice sheet.
The 1-2 week JASE program takes place in King George Island, Antarctica. Students from the United States join a Chilean high school expedition to Escudero Base on King George Island. The program includes visits to international research stations and field sites in Antarctica as well as the Chilean Antarctic Institute in the Patagonia region of Chile.
Both programs provide an opportunity for students to connect with polar scientists as they conduct research in a wide variety of fields including biology, geology, climatology, chemistry, and engineering. Students also have significant hands-on experiences in field research under the guidance of professional teachers from the participating nations.
JSEP and JASE are open to U.S. citizens or permanent residents in the 11th grade at the time of application. JASE participants must be fluent in Spanish. Students may apply for one or both programs using the same application. NSF's Division of Polar Programs covers all costs, including food, transportation, lodging, and instruction for students selected to participate.
