Pacific (U.S.) Regional Student Research Symposium

ALL event attendees (students, teachers, GLOBE partners, chaperones, etc.) must register individually and sign a media release. 

Teachers, students, U.S. Partnerships, scientists and alumni from the Pacific geographic area (NV, CA, HI) are invited to gather and discuss GLOBE student research projects at the third annual Pacific GLOBE Student Research Symposia (SRS). This two-day event will include presentation of the student research entries to reviewers, a tour of NASA AMES facilities, professional development for teachers and networking opportunities for participants. There will be plenty of time to discuss collaborating within the region too. 

Please follow this page and the SRS webpage for the most current information.  If you have any questions about the research process or taking students to the SRS, please use the SRS Teacher Hotline.
