The U.S. National Science Foundation Directorate for Geosciences Office of Polar Programs and the Directorate for STEM Education have awarded Oregon State University a five-year cooperative agreement to be the facilitator for the Polar Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (Polar STEAM) initiative (NSF award #2221990), which includes management of the previous Antarctic Artists and Writer's (AAW) program.
Polar STEAM is a new initiative that encompasses and enriches two longstanding efforts:
- Support through the AAW program for writing and artistic projects specifically designed to increase the public's understanding and appreciation of the Antarctic and the human endeavors on the southernmost continent.
- Support for formal and informal educators to travel to the Antarctic and Arctic to work collaboratively with researchers, referred to as the Polar Educators program.
For decades, these efforts have provided unique professional development opportunities that have benefited the individual artists, writers and educators and the diverse communities they serve.
Past participants of the Antarctic Artists and Writers program
Note: award numbers are available only for projects after 2004. Project information posted here was current at the time of award.
Additional information about past participants and their work can be found on the Antarctic Artists and Writers Collective (AAWC) website.
