2021 International Virtual Science Symposium
2021 GLOBE
International Virtual Science Symposium
GLOBE is excited to host the 2021 GLOBE International Virtual Science Symposium (IVSS)! The IVSS is a way for primary through undergraduate students from all GLOBE countries to showcase their research and hard work. With GLOBE, students learn the practices of science through hands-on investigations in their own communities, sparking their curiosity and interest in science. This often leads to inquiries that help solve real-world problems and further understanding of our global environment. It's time for your students to show the world what they've learned!
This year, the IVSS 2021 will be focusing on Data Analysis. Students are welcome to use new or old data in their projects. We also encourage students to present their research in creative ways, like with storytelling tools (video, online, etc.) and more.
For more info and inspiration, check out our resources page and IVSS related webinars we hosted back in October! Dates for webinars listed below.
