What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

To achieve the project goal, students must attend the kick-off meeting for clear guidelines and expectations. They will be required to select or be assigned a specific topic, followed by thorough research on the subject matter. Each student will draft and refine a minimum 4500-word article, adhering to specified conventions and formats. Continuous communication with the AIC team for feedback and guidance is essential throughout the process.

About the company

The Antarctic Institute of Canada is a non-profit Canadian charity organization founded by former Antarctic researcher Austin Mardon in 1985. Its original aim was to lobby for the federal government of Canada to increase the extent of Canadian research in the Antarctic. However, AIC slowly diversified and initiated programs for students to publish Antarctic research in newspapers and academic journals. These days, the AIC supports academic writing, research, and multimedia in many fields, expanding far beyond the organizationโ€™s original focus on Antarctica.
