BPA Webinar: Demonstrate GLOBE Skills in a Virtual Competition

Join us for a Business Professionals of America (BPA)-hosted webinar on 23 October at 7 pm ET (23:00 UTC) as BPA highlights an opportunity to use GLOBE skills in a 2026 Workforce Skills Assessment Program (WSAP) competition for middle, secondary, and post-secondary students in the US.

The competition topic will be Smart Solutions for a Healthier Planet: A GLOBE Community Journey with IoT (Internet of Things). Competitors will be tasked with creating a 2–3-minute 2D animation that showcases a diverse group of students or citizens scientists from different parts of the world using Internet of Things (IoT) devices and smart technology such as sensors to observe, collect, and share environmental data through the GLOBE Program. 

Competition Requirements: 

• Feature at least one GLOBE sphere (Atmosphere, Biosphere, Hydrosphere, Pedosphere).
• Demonstrate how smart sensors or IoT-enabled tools (e.g., air quality monitors, remote weather stations, water sensors, smart apps) are used to collect and share data.
• Incorporate storytelling elements that highlight teamwork, scientific discovery, and the impact of open data.
• Showcase a transformation or improvement in the environment or community as a result of the project.

During the webinar, NASA representatives will share how GLOBE prepares students for careers by teaching them STEM and analytical skills and providing experience using environmental sensors. BPA representatives will describe the virtual competition opportunity and how to participate.
