Volunteer Judges Needed for 2023 International Virtual Science Symposium
The GLOBE Implementation Office (GIO) is seeking the assistance of volunteer judges to score student projects for the 2023 International Virtual Science Symposium (IVSS). To take part in this greatly appreciated effort, volunteer judges will be provided with scoring information and assigned projects. (Please plan on spending time between 29 March and 05 April 2023 scoring projects. Please NOTE: To receive a Certificate of Recognition for judging, volunteer judges will need to score a minimum of three projects by the due date. More information will be available later in 2022 and early in 2023.)
The IVSS is a way for primary through undergraduate students from all GLOBE countries to showcase their research. The theme for this year’s journey into science and research is: “Global Connections: Investigating Earth as a System Together.”
This year, which is the tenth year of the IVSS, students are encouraged to explore the Earth as a System Protocol Bundles and use them as tools to investigate their environmental research questions. This year’s theme also has similarities to NASA's Year of Open Science and inspires students to make connections with other students and scientific explorations around the world. Students are also advised to present their research in creative ways, for example, through storytelling tools including video, online media, storyboards, drawings, and more.
