Studying the Adélie Penguin colony at Cape Royds, Antarctica and educating others about what the science team learns from their studies from there is something Jean Pennycook loves to do!
Ever want to spend a Saturday afternoon hearing how a science educator has spent over a decade designing and implementing educational outreach what may be the most remote location for science education? Come and listen to educator Jean Pennycook discuss the connection of her work to science, history, education, and beyond. Learn about Jean’s use of an interactive website that connects penguin research to classrooms and students across the country, providing them with a virtual field trip to the breeding colony of Adélie Penguins. Jean’s goal is to educate others about the research that she and the rest of her science team is learning about penguins. In addition, she relays information about how environmental changes are impacting the lives of those penguins and the Antarctic region. It is educational outreach like no other.
