The GLOBE Program, a collaboration between NASA, the National Science Foundation, and organizations around the world, is hosting an event for students throughout the Southwest and beyond May 3-4, 2024, at All Saints' Episcopal School of Fort Worth. With GLOBE, students learn the practices of science through hands-on investigations in their own communities, sparking their curiosity and interest in science. It often leads to inquiries that help solve real-world problems and further understanding of our global environment.
At the Symposium, students will share what they’ve learned from their research investigations of the atmosphere, pedosphere (soil) and hydrosphere (water). NASA personnel and scientists will be on hand to respond to student research investigations and comment on the importance of a student’s understanding of how Earth’s systems are affected by Earth’s changing conditions. This is a great opportunity for students to practice the skills they've learned through their involvement in The GLOBE Program and apply them to address real-world problems.
The GLOBE Program is a science and education collaboration that provides students and the public worldwide with the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to our understanding of the global environment and climate. It connects students, teachers, scientists and other citizens from around the world to learn the practices of science through hands-on investigations in their own communities, sparking their curiosity and interest in science and other STEM fields. GLOBE is a partnership with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and U.S. Department of State, and carried out at the local level worldwide by partner organizations, governments, teachers and students. The GLOBE Implementation Office at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) implements the Program. To learn more, visit www.globe.gov.
