Fuchs Foundation Antarctica Expedition 2010Tim Miall - 'Sir in Antarctica' Welcome to the Website for Tim Miall, Physics teacher at Twyford C of E High School, Acton In Autumn 2010, I will be swapping the classroom for the glaciers of Antarctica for 6 weeks with an educational charity called the Fuchs Foundation. Basecamp will be in a largely unexplored region of the continent, carrying out Scientific research which can then be filtered down to students. This will be the second Fuchs foundation trip to Antarctica for teachers, and we will be the only privately funded scientific expedition in Antarctica. ,
, LATEST NEWS - Winston Churchill fellowships awarded to Antarctic teachers! Many thanks to the WCMT who have offered fellowships to both Tim Miall and Lisa Wood. 
The Winston Churchill memorial trust offers traveling fellowships with the following aim: “The advancement and propagation of education in any part of the world for the benefit of British citizens of all walks of life in such exclusively charitable manner that such education will make its recipients more effective in their life and work, whilst benefiting themselves and their communities, and ultimately the UK as a whole”. The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust is the national memorial and living tribute to Sir Winston, whose example is the inspiration of the trust.
Inspiring teachers............Changing livesSir Vivian Fuchs showed a generation of school children a sense of curiosity, self reliance, self determination and challenge. In his memory, the Fuchs Foundation will inspire future generations by sending young teachers to the Polar Regions to do scientific projects in hostile environments.
Science and Geography are perceived as dull subjects and hard work. The Fuchs Foundation challenges this perception and aims to recreate in young people the sense of excitement, adventure and thirst for knowledge. No one forgets an inspirational teacher and the Fuchs Foundation believes the key is challenge and experience. Give young teachers the opportunity to break free from the constraints of their normal safe existence and inspire them through expedition work that tests both their mental, physical and emotional resources which will in turn give them a life changing experience and will inspire their teaching for the rest of their career.
