This document outlines plans to develop a STEM curriculum focused on studying the aurora borealis. It discusses using the aurora as an authentic context to teach science, technology, engineering, art and math concepts. The curriculum would involve students learning fundamentals at home and then communicating in real-time with researchers in Manitoba, who are working to capture photos and study the aurora. Future plans include revising the companion curriculum, partnering with schools worldwide on an "overhead view" experiment, and visiting Churchill multiple times per year to continue developing the project.
