Very Cool Science: a live global on-line
event
From 1-14th July 2007, high-school students from across Australia
and around the world gathered at The University of Sydney
in New South Wales, Australia for the 34th International
Science School (ISS), EcoScience – two weeks of scientific
lectures, activities and social events with a focus on the environment
and ecological science, and attention on IPY and the polar regions.
On Thursday July 5th, 2007 at 7.00pm Sydney time, the ISS presented
a unique opportunity for high-school students to participate
in a global webcast discussing polar science. Students, teachers
and interested observers attended this 45 minute event hosted
in Sydney, both at the ISS and online across the world, and
participated real time in interactive presentations and discussions
with scientists and residents located in the Arctic, Antarctic
and their research facilities. |
