Our Partners

The Education & Outreach (E&O) team of Expedition Audacity is driven by three core goals: to share, collaborate, and document the expedition's scientific, cultural, and nautical explorations. Central to this mission is the creation of a full STEAM+ (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics, and more) curriculum, designed to reach students globally.

The E&O team will engage in active collaboration with local communities, onboard experts, and select classrooms, fostering equitable education spaces that elevate diverse voices and share knowledge in a responsible and inclusive manner. These efforts will help build lifelong learning resources, contributing to the expedition’s educational mission.

Expedition Luminescence redefines the way expeditions engage student populations by creating a deeper connection with primary source content. This offers students a unique chance to explore the dynamic world of science and marine conservation, nurturing the next generation of curious and engaged explorers.

Our documentary film crew is dedicated to capturing the compelling story of life in the world's most remote regions. Through stunning visuals and insightful narratives, we will explore the wonders of marine ecosystems, highlighting the rich biodiversity and the striking impacts of global warming. We will also dive deep into the cultural vibrancy of Inuit communities, showcasing their traditions and resilience in the face of environmental challenges.

Additionally, our focus will encompass life aboard the research vessel, where we will detail the rigorous scientific research initiatives and highlight interactions with local populations. The film will also bring the audience underwater, featuring awe-inspiring footage of marine life captured through advanced SCUBA and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) technology, offering an unprecedented look at the mysteries of the ocean’s depths.

In collaboration with Stanford Chariot Program at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children, and St. Jude's Children’s Hospital, our film crew is spearheading the development of a groundbreaking 3D/Virtual Reality curriculum. This initiative is specifically designed for children in acute care facilities, offering them a unique and immersive way to experience the outdoors—something they might never have the opportunity to encounter in person.

The program will transport children to some of the planet’s most majestic and remote locations, both above and below water, directly into their learning environments. By utilizing virtual reality, the curriculum not only aims to educate but also inspire and ignite curiosity about the natural world. It provides an opportunity for young explorers of all backgrounds to engage with and appreciate the beauty and diversity of the Earth, fostering a deep connection with the environment. This innovative approach offers children a chance to experience the wonders of our planet, no matter their physical limitations, potentially sparking a passion for exploration and discovery.

A cutting-edge Technology and Robotics team, led by esteemed Explorers Club member Colin Bettis, will be instrumental in supporting both the Science Crew and the Documentary Production Crew. Utilizing the latest in technological advancements, the team will deploy state-of-the-art deep-water Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), capable of exploring ocean depths of up to 1000 meters, including the elusive Twilight Zone.

The Twilight Zone, a deep-sea region defined by near-constant temperatures around 4 °C (39 °F) and a salinity of 33-35 g/kg, remains one of the most enigmatic areas of the ocean. Its pitch-black environment, devoid of sunlight and characterized by sparse bioluminescence, presents significant challenges. The ROVs will be equipped with high-resolution 4K cameras and specialized tools to navigate and capture vital data in this harsh environment. This dual-purpose technology not only supports the scientific community by collecting invaluable data but also enhances the documentary team's ability to capture high-quality visuals of these hidden oceanic realms.

This integration of advanced technology and robotics highlights the expedition's dedication to pushing the frontiers of both oceanic exploration and visual storytelling. Through these efforts, the team aims to unlock new insights into the depths of the ocean while offering the public a glimpse into one of Earth’s most mysterious and untouched ecosystems.

In partnership with Make-A-Wish Canada and Dr. Martin Nweeia, Expedition Audacity is deeply honored to fulfill a unique wish for a deserving child and their family. As part of this extraordinary experience, we will invite them to join us aboard our ship for a remarkable journey through the pristine wilderness of the North West Passage. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will include a close encounter with narwhals, one of the Arctic's most enigmatic and majestic creatures. Our team is committed to making this experience unforgettable, blending adventure with the joy of granting a child's dream. 

Our expedition is built on a strong commitment to sustainability, shaping everything from our vessel choice to the products we use. To learn more about our sustainability initiatives, please visit our dedicated page linked below. 

Join Expedition Audacity on a transformative journey with our Blueprint for the Environmental Research Foundation and Scientific Research Sailing Vessel (SRSV). This initiative merges scientific exploration, environmental consciousness, education, and inclusivity, all aimed at making a global impact.

The blueprint explores uncharted territories of eRNA & eDNA, social anthropology, and deep-water ecosystems, establishing the Environmental Research Foundation (ERF) for collaborative knowledge. Picture the SRSV as a floating hub for scientific inquiry, where scientists conduct independent research while circumnavigating diverse ecosystems and remote locations.

With a focus on sustainability and responsible exploration, Expedition Audacity paves the way for a brighter future through engaging educational outreach. Join us on this extraordinary journey toward a better tomorrow, united by understanding and stewardship.

In a world often overshadowed by celebrity culture and misinformation about climate change, we've developed a powerful strategy to spread the truth. Our approach involves engaging influential individuals—whether from social media, music, film, or sports—to join our crew for a week or two.

By immersing themselves in our mission, these figures gain firsthand experience with the urgent challenges our planet faces. This authentic engagement transforms them into compelling storytellers, enabling them to share insights and foster a more accurate and impactful narrative around climate change. Together, we can drive meaningful change and inspire action.
