2023 GLOBE Mission EARTH SATELLITES Student Conference at the University of Toledo
The GLOBE Mission EARTH’s Students And Teachers Exploring Local Landscapes to Interpret The Earth from Space (SATELLITES) Student Conference took place at The University of Toledo on May 10, 2023 in the Student Union. This is the first face-to-face student conference since 2019.
Fifty-three students (grades 2-12) from Ohio and Michigan from thirteen schools presented over 30 projects at the SATELLITES Student Conference. Students will be divided into two groups so that they can view fellow students’ projects and select the “Peer Choice” award. Local scientists and UT researchers will serve as judges.
Here is the list of award winners with their projects.
