Joint Science Education Project. Through a grant to the Institute of Arctic Studies at Dartmouth, the National Science Foundation supports two opportunities for US high school students to travel to the polar regions and participate in hands-on and inquiry-based science activities. The Joint Science Education Project (JSEP) takes students to Greenland and the Joint Antarctic School Expedition (JASE) takes students to Antarctica.
