Schools on Board Field Program
Each year, a team of high school students and teachers are selected from across Canada to participate in an ArcticNet research program onboard the CCGS Amundsen. The field program exposes participants to the research objectives and methods of numerous science teams representing a number of research disciplines from institutions across Canada. While on board, participants are completely integrated with sampling operations conducted on the ship, providing a unique, authentic learning experience.
Highlights include:
- Travel to the Arctic
- Cultural exposure to northern Canada
- Accommodation on the Amundsen
- Lectures by internationally recognized scientists
- Field work and lab activities with researchers and graduate students
- Resources for educators
