Having been associated with Kids’ Conference Australia for four years, Kiri-ganai Research has joined the KC kids to explore the science and other research challenges relating to Antarctica. Kids’ Conference Antarctica, involving around 15 schools and to be held online on 12 August 2025 to coincide with National Science Week.
Topics already proposed by schools involved in the event include: the nature of the Antarctic Treaty and whether there are areas that need strengthening to enable the Antarctic to be preserved in perpetuity; the opportunities and challenges for different types of alternative energy methos to power the 82 research stations scattered across the Antarctic continent; the need to preserve the Antarctic through worldwide climate change mitigation as it will be a major source of sea-rise internationally otherwise; and what we can learn about working and living in remote areas, and the impact it can have on health.
