Twin Science & Robotics is partnering with Verofax to sponsor Polar Explorer Antony Jinman, the twelfth Briton to have skied to the geographic North Pole and solo skied to the geographic South Pole, on his new polar expedition with the aim of inspiring children to take climate action. Within this partnership, Jinman will be documenting his expedition and answering children’s questions in interactive videos via Twin, a STEM app for children ages 7-12.

“I will soon embark on my next Antarctica expedition. I am excited about the partnership with Twin Science & Verofax. Children can not only follow the expedition, but also participate in the numerous challenges and victories I face on it via the Twin app.”
Jinman.

This expedition aims to highlight climate change and its effects in the polar regions, and encourages children to seek answers to questions such as, “How is climate change affecting the polar regions?” and “What can we do as individuals?”.

Verofax is dedicated to creating a platform that validates sustainable products and helps brands upsell sustainable lines. This support comes with data and technology, and ultimately the goal of using information to address climate change. The CEO and co-founder of Verofax, Wassim Merheby, explains their mission, saying, “We develop solutions that help with the auditability of sustainable credentials for products. We empower consumers as well as retailers to check and validate their product before purchasing to validate the credentials, be able to interact with the product and promote greener choices to other consumers.” When asked about the partnership, “We believe that this is a long journey, and this journey will only be empowered by education. That’s why we are honored to be partnering with Antony Jinman and Twin Science to promote sustainable choices and lifestyles to the youth as well as older consumers through the youth,” says Merheby.

Verofax and Twin Science share one thing: they are both on a mission using STEM to benefit society. Twin is an extraordinary organization which has recently won World Economic Forum’s Smart Toy AI Awards, Bett 2020 Awards, the Play for Change Awards, and was featured on the BBC. The Twin team consists of award-winning researchers in the areas of STEM and education, and they align the STEM content in their app with United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

This new way of learning is the best.

We are excited to invite young twinners onto Twin and take them on this amazing trip into Antarctica. Antony will be there for their every need. Verofax wants to show kids how climate change really is, and encourage them to take steps to stop it. Our content on the Twin app is designed to teach children STEM and it’s a fantastic opportunity. We have already seen over 500,000 kids use our STEM apps and STEM kits, as well as children attend our STEM workshops. They have used their STEM knowledge to create earthquake detectors and reforestation robots. The hope is that they will be inspired to reverse the climate change effects by what they see on their journey.
Professor Ger Graus OBE is the Project and Education Advisor for this partnership. He explains why this project is so important.

“As someone who strongly believes in introducing children into the amazing role models who inspire and aspiration, this partnership has the potential to make a true social, ecological, and sustainable difference.”
