Getting NABOS Out to OUR World

OUTREACH: Before the Expedition• Contact Teachers to “follow” expedition on social media• Distribute news via Museum/Smithsonian e-blast (national)• Link to other institutions’ websites• Created “Digital Explorer Badge”• Connect with IARC technology blog

I realize the M9 mooring is a complicated device from the drawing. How do you prevent failures when using these devices? What are some common complications?

OUTREACH: During the Expedition• Post on Blog/ Twitter/Instagram – every day!• Respond to questions/comments – every day!Blog Stats• 130+ posts, and counting (including “posts from scientists”)• 16,000+ hits, and counting• 900+ questions/comments, and counting• 12 countries (last I checked) and 5 continents

Hi I’m Nathalie,we really want you to come to our school. Your blog posts are really helping me learn more about the Arctic.

Science Communication Workshop (US-nationwide NSF project)• Making personal connections• Building a common vision• Making meaningful experiences• The pleasure of finding things out

OUTREACH: During the Expedition

I was wondering what formula we need to calculate turbulent fluxes that you mentioned in the blog? I want to know if we can recreate any of the cool experiments you guys have done?

Hands-On Activities (students + a few scientists/instructors)• Draw your own research• Develop concept for activity related to your research

OUTREACH: During the Expedition

Wow, how did it feel to break through that 1meter thick ice, was the ship shaking or something?

OUTREACH:During

Expedition

Scientist Blogs

Have you faced any vicissitudes during your trip?

OUTREACH: After the Expedition• Test hands-on activities developed on ship (with students?)• Visit Miami schools in person, distant schools via online• Design curricula (Upward Bound Math & Science Program)• Develop program for Winter Camp programs• Create Arctic-themed demonstrations and public shows• Create temporary exhibit at Museum based on expedition

Only you fully know how it is there, on the icy ocean, far from home, making it possible to fulfill all this research.

How many things you have to know and how deep the knowledge must be.

Let interest and enthusiasm never leave you!

Best regards from school #6, Nyagan, Siberia

If you don’t remember how cool what you do really is,

remember.

If you do remember how cool what you do really is, don’t forget.

…and more people will also realize it.
