The GLOBE Program is pleased to host the tenth year of the International Virtual Science Symposium (IVSS)! First hosted in 2012, the IVSS is an opportunity for GLOBE students to share their research with other students; teachers; and Science, Technology, Education, and Mathematics (STEM) professionals. The IVSS encourages students to formulate research questions, engage the scientific method to answer those questions and, most importantly, share their research. These are essential skills to have when moving forward into STEM fields, and The GLOBE Program is proud to have encouraged students to develop them for 10 years.  >>
