OBJECTIVES


  1. Facilitate students to gain a deeper understanding of the Antarctic condition and its significance through research and experimental design

    通過研究和實驗設計，幫助學生更深入地了解南極狀況及其意義


  2. Encourage students to apply their scientific knowledge and think outside the box by questioning whether certain theories will result differently in a polar environment

    通過預計某些理論在極地環境中是否會產生不同的結果，鼓勵學生應用他們的科學知識並跳出框框思考

TEAM

Every team should be formed by 3 secondary school students (F.4-F.6) and a teacher-in-charge
每隊由 3 名中學生 (F.4-F.6) 和 1 名負責教師組成
