POLAR-PALOOZA: An International Polar Year Community Outreach Project

Abstract

"Palooza" is defined as "an all-out crazy party" or "an exaggerated event." POLAR-PALOOZA is a state-of-the-art multimedia initiative to teach people about the changing polar regions in a way that is intended to be a little out of the box, and always on the edge. It is one of the interactive learning adventures created by the PASSPORT TO KNOWLEDGE Project (http://passporttoknowledge.com) with support from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
