TeachLive Expeditions

Upcoming Expeditions

Protecting Wetlands for the future - Applications now open

In this unique Professional Development opportunity you will be working as a research assistant, helping to protect mangroves and our Great Barrier Reef by collecting data in valuable mangrove ecosystems, as they face increasing pressure from human impacts. You will inspire your students in STEM and geography, by teaching them “live” from the field through blogs uploaded to our website and opportunities to video call your class from the field.

For more information, download our flyer here.

Past Expeditions

Protecting the Reef’s Coastal Frontier | Oct & Nov 2019

Four teachers travelled to Mackay in Queensland for a week of research in the mangroves.

Here they acted as research assistants, exploring the mangroves fringing the Pioneer river, and assessing the condition of the ecosystem by conducting surveys, filming the shoreline, measuring trees and conducting field biomass assessments.

Bush Blitz Little Desert National Park | Oct 2019

Five teachers from around Australia travelled to the Little Desert National Park in Victoria to work as field assistants alongside some of Australia’s top taxonomists, to document the species found in this national park, and also help in discovering new species! The teachers communicated their experience to their students via blogs and live video calls from the field to engage and motivate their students in STEM. The information captured during Bush Blitz will be used to help scientists and land managers better protect local and national biodiversity for generations to come.

Following the expedition, teachers use their new scientific knowledge and research skills to develop engaging projects and lessons in STEM subjects back at their schools. Read about their experience on our teacher blog.
