Education Outside the Classroom

In New Zealand there are so many opportunities to enhance student's learning experience about Antarctica; The Canterbury Museum, Learnz, The International Antarctic Centre, Kelly Tartons and a vast array of local experts.

"That which can best be learned inside the classroom should be learned there. That which can best be learned in the out-of-doors through direct experience dealing with native materials and life situations, should be there learned."
L.B. Sharp
