The GLOBE Program will host the 2017 GLOBE International Virtual Science Symposium (IVSS) Badges Webinar on 18 Janaury 2017 at 11:00 a.m. MT (1:00 p.m. ET).
Join Matt Silberglitt and Svetlana Darche, both of WestEd, for an in-depth look at the badges for the 2017 IVSS. Save this link to join the webinar on 18 January (https://zoom.us/j/513741764). (The webinar will be recorded for later viewing.)
The 2017 IVSS takes place online, and K-16 students from any GLOBE country may participate. GLOBE students use the GLOBE data they entered into the database and should collaborate with scientists, including STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) professionals who are part of the GLOBE International STEM Network (GISN).
The IVSS 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. It can be hard work, but the excitement that comes with discovery and new insights makes it worthwhile.
