The Constructing a Digital Environment Programme, funded through the Strategic Priorities Fund, invites you all to take part in our “Data processing with Snap!” trail. It will run from 1st March to 30th April 2022, there are 2 events so choose the right one:
- The ‘school entry’ link is for school teams or pupils of participating schools.
- The ‘public entry’ link is for anyone who fancies a go and teachers wishing to test the quiz first.
The ‘Environmental Data Discovery Trails’ initiative aims to improve the accessibility of data collected through NERC-funded research, or managed by NERC data centres and our collaborators, we are collecting feedback on the user experience (UX) to improve the navigation of our various web portals to assess these data.
On 1st March we will launch two events to give you the opportunity to navigate weather data from the UK Polar Data Centre. The data has been collected from the Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica and you will be using Snap to navigate through it, followed by a short online quiz! Those that complete the feedback boxes will be entered into the prize draws. The school teams that enter will have the chance to win either a Netatmo Smart Weather Station (1st draw) or set of NERC water bottles for all the class (2nd draw).
After the public event, 10 participant names will be drawn to receive a NERC water bottle. Don’t worry if you can’t find the answer or if it’s taking too long, just submit your comments as it is your feedback that we are after. The prize draws will take place early May. Post-event the trail link will remain available as an educational resource only.
