When somebody hear, that I spent over two years in Arctic and Antarctic, the first question is “Have you seen the polar bear/penguin?” (choose the right one). The same is true for lessons and workshops for students. But they very often have creative questions, that adults are too shy to ask.

What are they? Let’s go through the typical ones (remember – none of them is silly; every is inspiring, and encouraging to search for the answer):

Competition winnersThe results of the first Arctic Competition are known: More than 40 school teams from Europe participated in the 3 stages of the competition and 6 winners have been found. The winners have been contacted directly. We would like, once again, to congratulate the winners of the EDU-ARCTIC Competition! :)
