Multiple IDPO Sponsored Events
Featured Jim White at IPY 2012
The mission of IDPO’s Education Program is to enable effective educational outreach to teachers, students and the public on behalf of, and in collaboration with the ice drilling and coring community.
Activities support two primary goals:
- Providing materials and services for educational audiences
- Building a collaborative infrastructure to leverage research outcomes and outreach activities from individually funded ice core projects
How IDPO Can Support You:
- Partnering for "Broader Impacts" on NSF Proposals
(Note: you must contact IDPO via an email to linda.m.morris@dartmouth.edu several weeks before you submit your proposal.) - Featuring You/Your Science at Education Conferences
See Past IDPO Outreach Participants, below - Tailoring Presentations for Education Audiences
See Example Template for Videoconferences (see below) - Scheduling Classroom Visits: Pre-planning with Teacher and Scientist; Lesson Design
- Conducting Local Workshops, with Travel Support Provided by Your Project
- Translating Your Research for Public Audiences
See Example at:
