Ice Stories: A Public Educational Resource for IPY

探索馆提议的冰的故事努力使公众了解国际极地年和国际极地年研究的多学科范围，增加公众对科学研究过程的了解，并促进国际极地年研究与公众外联活动之间的关系。主要项目成果包括：1）为16名北极科学家（第1次研讨会）和16名南极科学家（第2次研讨会）举办两次研讨会，培训他们与公众有效分享科学知识。讲习班将包括叙事故事，使用视频和音频设备，粗剪编辑和动手摄像机培训。探索馆将作为科学家和公众之间的中介，澄清内容并在网上发布材料。2)在每个野外季节，来自北极和南极的实时网络广播最终达到每周5次。这涉及更多的科学家，探索馆小组对与科学和国际极地年有关的北极和南极事件进行更多的现场报道。3)建立一个公众访问网站，所有材料将张贴和存档，每周更新2-3次。材料将利用现有资源，将包括：IPY研究主要领域的背景，STEM国家学习标准的链接，IPY历史，科学家传记，从过去的南极探险项目中重新利用的材料，从北极和南极的研究/生产旅行中收集的材料以及科学合作者，Pod广播，视频，RSS提要和博客。4)国际和平年在探索博物馆举办展览，展示材料并与其他博物馆分享材料。5)对具体的课后地点的外联活动将覆盖服务不足和代表性不足的儿童，该项目的独立外部评价将由奈特-威廉姆斯研究通信公司进行。

Ice Stories proposed by the Exploratorium strives to create public awareness of the International Polar Year (IPY) and the multi-disciplinary range of IPY research, increase public understanding of the process of scientific research and stimulate an enhanced relationship between IPY research and public outreach activities. Primary project deliverables include: 1) Two workshops for 16 Arctic (workshop 1) and 16 Antarctic scientists (workshop 2) to train them to effectively share their science with the general public. The workshops will cover narrative storytelling, use of video and audio equipment, rough-cut editing, and hands-on camera training. The Exploratorium will serve as an intermediary between the scientists and the public, clarifying content and posting material on the Web. 2) Live Web casts from the Arctic and Antarctic eventually reach 5 a week during each field season. These involve additional scientists, with additional in-situ coverage by the Exploratorium team of Arctic and Antarctic events associated with science and IPY. 3) Creation of a public access Web site where all materials will be posted and archived and updates will be undertaken 2-3 times each week. Materials will leverage existing resources and will include: background on major areas of IPY research, links to national learning standards in STEM, IPY history, biographies of scientists, repurposed material from past Exploratorium Antarctica projects, collected materials from research/production trips to the Arctic and Antarctic and from scientific collaborators, Pod casts, video, RSS feeds, and blogs. 4) An IPY exhibit at the Exploratorium showcasing the materials and sharing of the materials with other museums. 5) Outreach to specific after-school sites will reach underserved and underrepresented children.Independent external evaluation of the project will be conducted by Knight-Williams Research Communications.
