As part of this initiative, the academy is hosting the PolarPODibus in January and February for science outreach activities with students from the three departments. <\/p>\n
The Polar POD Expedition<\/p>\n
The Polar POD project, formalized and co-developed with the Ministry of National Education and Youth, aims to gain a better understanding of the Southern Ocean and the Antarctic environment through the acquisition of long-term data and observations (Southern Hemisphere winter, fauna via hydrophones, chemical composition of water, satellite measurements, etc.). For this purpose, a drifting oceanic platform (POD) will circulate for three years around Antarctica, a region of the globe still little known. <\/p>\n

Discovering the Expedition through Science Outreach<\/p>\n
Concurrently, science outreach aimed at all school audiences, from elementary to high school, is being implemented to promote the Polar POD expedition and its objectives. This outreach is carried out through the PolarPODibus’s visits\u2014a vehicle dedicated to providing science outreach thanks to onboard scientific equipment\u2014to several schools. Students and teaching staff will thus benefit from educational activities allowing them to grasp the various challenges of this expedition in connection with the teaching content of several disciplines and at different school levels. <\/p>\n
The PolarPODibus makes a stop at the Limoges academy January 23, 2024
\nFrom January 8 to February 17, around thirty schools and institutions in the academy have the opportunity to receive a visit from the PolarPODibus, which is a lever for strengthening science education. The encounter with the Polar POD team and scientists will enable: <\/p>\n
\u2022 to awaken curiosity and interest in oceanographic exploration;<\/p>\n
\u2022 to open new perspectives towards careers in marine industries, ocean sciences, and adventure. A particular message is addressed to young girls, who are still too few in these fields; <\/p>\n
\u2022 to stimulate youth engagement for environmental protection.<\/p>\n
A program committed to the core issues of climate change, the Polar POD project is part of sustainable development education, as it addresses 9 of the 2023 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN). The proposed science outreach activities thus raise awareness among tomorrow’s stakeholders about these issues and support them in becoming responsible and engaged citizens.

A real pleasure to host @PolarPodExpe this week, introducing students to @jletienne’s expedition. For this exciting scientific moment @Dsden23 @aclimoges pic.twitter.com\/qC0eJA1zt3 Christophe BLANC (@monsieurchrisbl) January 11, 2024 <\/p>\n
When science meets passion!<\/p>\n
Thanks to Cl\u00e9ment, science communicator, for introducing our students to @jletienne’s expedition with @PolarPodExpe.
