The 21st GLOBE Annual Partner Meeting and Student Research Experience/Field Experience will be held in New Haven, Connecticut, USA, at the campus of Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU). The theme of Annual Meeting is, “Coastal Resilience in Urban Environments.”  >>

Through a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), students from across the United States have the opportunity to come together at one of six face-to-face regional science symposia (formerly regional science fairs) to share the results of field investigations using GLOBE Program protocols. The competition grade spans are: grades 5-8 and grades 9-12.  >>

If you have participated in GLOBE as a student, we encourage you to register to become a member of the GLOBE Alumni Organization.  >>

Tip of the Week: Check out GLOBE Across the Curriculum. GLOBE provides students with a more integrated view of the various subjects they study and supports curricula interconnections in all areas.
