Description:
The POLAR Circumpolar Giant Floor Map (GFM) and Classroom Floor Maps (CFMs) program will see the creation of two GFMs and five CFMs. Two GFMs and three CFMs that will tour to schools across Canada for three years with a specific focus on reaching schools in Northern Canada. The additional two CFMs will be shipped to CHARS and Polar headquarters. Each GFM/CFM will tour with an accompanying kit of classroom activities and props that will bring the map to life and highlight important advances being made in Canadian Northern science and innovation.
Organization:
Polar Knowledge Canada
Expected Results:
The GFM/CFM program will provide direct connection to over 30,000 students per year. The exposure of these students to northern innovation, science, technology and infrastructure will allow them to develop interest in the field. Students will be able to see tangible results and career options within STEM, specifically focusing on the advances that are being made in the Arctic.

This Program aims to lead the mobilization of polar science and technology into action. CHARS will "analyse and disseminate polar knowledge from its Science and Technology Program, as well as that from current federal, territorial and other stakeholders, and investments to inform management, programming and policies; promote Artic science and technology nationally and internationally; and build capacity through training, outreach, and learning opportunities. This will ensure polar knowledge is relevant to stakeholders and builds a science culture in Canada.
