16 July: NASA Presentation for 2020 Community Cloud Challenge: Science is Better Together

The 2020 Community Cloud Challenge: Science is Better is on! To find out ways you can participate in this event, check out a recent GLOBE Community Blog, written by Marilé Colón Robles (lead for the GLOBE Clouds Team at NASA's Langley Research Center) providing details on how to participate, how to take cloud and sky observations, the schedule of weekly cloud scientist videos, and more!

The blog (which is also offered in Spanish) covers “how to participate,” including: learning about clouds with NASA scientists and educators; doing an at-home activity; and/or taking loud and sky observations.
