This is a symposium proposal to host a Polar Fair at the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore April 4-5, 2009. This is a special symposium, building on the International Polar Weekend events hosted at the American Museum of Natural History in New York in 2007 and 2008. The Baltimore Polar Fair is associated with the 50th Antarctic Treaty Meeting. The interactive Polar Fair will bring together approximately 35 IPY research scientists and educators to share their research with the general public through hands-on interactive activities. The program is one component of a larger suite of weekend events, including NASA's "Frozen" Science on a Sphere, The Antarctic Artists display, and Polar-Palooza. Polar Fair participants will include representatives from native Arctic cultures, historical figures in polar research, as well as the most up to date equipment and science techniques being used in polar research through the International Polar Year. The format allows and encourages people to learn in several different ways: passive listening and viewing as well as one-on-one question and answer, demonstrations, and personal participation. Through the event, the public will gain an appreciation for the rich history of polar research and exploration, as well as the wide range of science research being conducted in both the Arctic and the Antarctic.

这是一个研讨会的建议，主办一个极地博览会在马里兰州科学中心在巴尔的摩2009年4月4日至5日。这是一次特别的研讨会，以2007年和2008年在纽约美国自然历史博物馆举办的国际极地周末活动为基础。巴尔的摩极地博览会与第50届南极条约会议有关。互动式极地博览会将汇集大约35名IPY研究科学家和教育工作者，通过动手互动活动与公众分享他们的研究。该计划是一个更大的周末活动套件的一个组成部分，包括美国宇航局的“冻结”科学在一个球体上，南极艺术家显示，和极地狂欢节。极地博览会的参与者将包括来自北极土著文化的代表，极地研究的历史人物，以及通过国际极地年在极地研究中使用的最新设备和科学技术。这种形式允许并鼓励人们以几种不同的方式学习：被动的倾听和观看，以及一对一的问答，演示和个人参与。通过这次活动，公众将了解极地研究和探索的丰富历史，以及在北极和南极进行的广泛科学研究。
