Ice Cool Cyber-School

British Antarctic Survey have a responsibility, as a government funded organisation, to inspire the next generation.

Our Cyber-School sessions are opportunities for schools, self-educators and other educational organisations to learn about the Polar Regions, their critical  importance, and what its like to live and work there. Hear from our scientists, operations and engineering specialists who explain why what they do is so important. These UK curriculum based sessions include interactive quizzes and give students the chance to ask questions live.
