GLOBE Students Celebrate Earth Day 2012 with Video Contest
In 2012, the GLOBE Program's Earth Day Celebration was a video competition highlighting GLOBE student research in climate science. GLOBE students created videos (2 minutes or less) of their class engaging in exploring and investigating their local climate through data collection with GLOBE protocols and climate-focused learning activities. Students explained what they were doing and what climate projects they were working on in their home language on the video.
