Sacramento Sixth Grader Traveling To Antarctica Becomes Youngest Ambassador
SACRAMENTO (CBS SF) -- A sixth grader in Sacramento has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to Antarctica.
Twelve-year-old Aiden Fong will be making the trip with his teacher and famed polar explorer Robert Swan.
He won a competition through Swan's website, becoming the youngest ambassador ever chosen to travel with the group.
"There's going to be a base there which is a net zero energy base so basically a classroom that only runs on renewable energy," Fong said.
He and has his teacher plan on building one of those renewable energy classrooms at their school when they get back.
