Inspiring teachers... changing lives
Do you aspire to be an Inspirational Teacher of Science and Geography?
An opportunity of a lifetime for Personal Development.
Can you challenge yourself by an exceptional chance to go to the Antarctic?
The Fuchs Foundation is planning a second Antarctic expedition on which there are places for four science or geography teachers. You must be a full time teacher. Be prepared to undertake a science project in the harshest of conditions and temperatures down to -40 degrees. Be prepared to raise a five figure sum to contribute to the expedition’s costs. Write up your science project and produce teaching materials, all of which will be published on the web.
You will be a good teacher who, from this experience, will become an excellent teacher and leader in your profession.

Sir Vivian Fuchs showed a generation of school children a sense of curiosity, self reliance, self determination and challenge.
In his memory, the Fuchs Foundation will inspire future generations by sending young teachers to the Polar Regions to do scientific projects in hostile environments.
No one forgets an inspirational teacher and the Fuchs Foundation believes the key is challenge and experience. Give young teachers the opportunity to break free from the constraints of their normal safe existence and inspire them through expedition work that tests both their mental, physical and emotional resources which will in turn give them a life changing experience and will inspire their teaching for the rest of their career.
