Polar Explorer Antony Jinman, founder of the Education Through Expeditions project, is a real news maker and great inspiring man, whose mission is to bring world’s knowledge to children right from field studies. Here is other news from him:

On April 17th, Polar Explorer Antony Jinman and his teammates Vijay Shah and Duncan Eadie started their way to Baffin Island, the largest Arctic Archipelago in the Canadian territory of Nunavut, and attempt a first British crossing of the Penny Ice Cap from Okoa Bay, unassisted to Pangnirtung.

The ETEorg press release says:

“This project will cover over 200km, starting and ending at sea level but rising to 1900 metres at its highest point. The mountain passes makes for spectacular scenary as the team traverse this landscape documenting the changes taking place by climate change in photography and film.”

“This expedition is the 8th to Baffin Island by Antony Jinman, witnessing first hand how the landscape is changing and voicing the concerns of the Inuit communitees visited.”

“This expedition will also be the first test expedition for Education Through Expeditions and its discussion board platform for schools, ETETeachers. Our discussion board will be joined by scientists and teachers so that students questions can be discussed and expressed as the expedition unfolds. Through testing this platform we aim to help further develop our services at ETE to aid the classroom and inspire children to follow their own aspirations in life.”

“This expedition will be a key element in the continuing planning and preparations for the International Scott Centnenary Expedition in 2012.”

Recently, Antony Jinman (www.antonyjinman.com), a UK Polar explorer, announced that he was looking forward to planning another North Pole project for 2012. Immediately, he’s got replies and the first question, that appeared to be great, indeed.

The question came from his friend, Regina Brinker, who said, “A student yesterday asked how a compass works at the north pole. Any noticeable change, or aren’t compasses used anymore?”

Antony replied:

Ella Darlington from the main RRS James Cook scientific ship laboratory in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean

On 11.03.10, In Education, Environment, expedition, Science, By Bolot
Ella Darlington. Working on the back deck this afternoon...

Ella Darlington. Working on the back deck this afternoon...

What a fantastic message I received yesterday… from Ella Darlington, Education and Outreach Officer of Education Through Expeditions NGO, who is currently working on the RRS James Cook scientific ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, nearing the equator. At present most of her work is aimed at tropical and ocean environments.

So… let’s begin our story.

A few months ago I started following UK-based Polar explorer Anthony Jinman‘s activity. I found all his works to be extremely exciting and helpful. It was him, who started the non-profit Education Through Expedition project. Just recently he launched the ETElive.org outreach platform designed to help educators and explorers to cover their current expeditions.

A week ago Anthony Jinman invited me through facebook to join the event called Ask Ella a Question. The first reaction was like, “Who is Ella and why should I ask her questions?”

The answer was, “I’m Eleanor, or Ella, Darlington. I’m here documenting life at sea onboard the RSS James Cook in the form of photos, videos and this blog, for Plymouth Marine Laboratories. ‘An easy job’ I hear you say. Well that’s not all… I’m also here working for a not-for-profit organisation called Education Through Expeditions (www.etelive.org), who are also based in Plymouth. This is the trickier part of my job – Education and Outreach – making science fun and applicable in the classroom. I am able to answer questions for the next 6 weeks… If any of you out there are teachers, or have kids in schools, or know of young people in youth groups etc. who would be interested in following and getting involved then please pass on the information. I’m discovering that it really is a two-way project!”

International Scott Centenary Expedition 2012

On 09.30.10, In Announcements, Competition, expedition, By Bolot

isce2012

Anthony Jinman, the UK Arctic explorer, works hard as usual. This time he is arranging International Scott Centenary Expedition 2012 dedicated to Captain Robert Falcon Scott RN, who a century ago set out with his companions for the South Pole and never returned. Now their descendents will embark on a journey of commemoration. They will lead a sledging team to Captain Scott’s final resting place, to meet relatives from all five families involved and hold a memorial service for the nation.

ISCE 2012 is a part of the Education Through Expeditions project, that you might find in my list of Cold-Related Projects.

GOOD NEWS!

If you are 18-30 year old, there is a chance for you to join that expedition. Anthony Jinman announced the competition. What you need to do is to write an article of 500-1,000 words entitled: “Why Captain Scott is important to me.”

More about the writing competition on the FB page ISCE Daily Telegraph Competition.

Education Through Expeditions

ANTONY JINMAN, PROJECT FOUNDER:
“My aim is simple. It is to inspire and educate children globally about world climate change and to do so through my interactive expeditions and related school outreach work. My focus is primarily, but not exclusively, on the arctic regions, its Inuit people, its animals and landscape.”

Education Through Expeditions is a Community Interest Company which aims to provide educators with current and innovative distance-learning resources to support climate change education.

The Portal. The principal learning vehicle that will reinforce this aim is the Education Through Expeditions world website; a two dimensional interactive portal which will act as a show-case for ongoing global expeditions and research projects and create a hub of learning about climate change within the home, at school and other community settings… (more…)
