General information
The NSB-DWM is available for Classroom Visits and/or Field Trips with students on the North Slope. We usually have a biologist and a subsistence hunter go into classrooms together and talk about subsistence resources and the Arctic. For schools in the outlying villages, with enough notice we will do our best to visit your school. For schools onslope and offslope, we are also available for online “Virtual Classroom Visits” using technology such as Skype. To request a visit, contact our Outreach Coordinator at (907) 852-0350 with your topic of interest and your preferred times and dates and we will do our best to accommodate your students’ needs.
