For Students, GLOBE provides the opportunity to learn by:

• Taking scientifically valid measurements in the fields of atmosphere, hydrology, soils, and land cover/phenology - depending upon their local curricula

• Reporting their data through the Internet

• Creating maps and graphs on the free interactive Web site to analyze data sets

• Collaborating with scientists and other GLOBE students around the world

For Teachers, GLOBE provides assistance through:

• Training at professional development workshops

• Teacher's Guide, "how-to" videos, and other materials

• Continuing support from a Help Desk, scientists, and partners

• Contact with other teachers, students, and scientists worldwide.

For Caribbean and U.S. Partners, GLOBE provides:

• Train-the-Trainer workshops

• Guidance and support for mentoring teachers

How to Join GLOBE

Teachers and other educators who wish to lead students in GLOBE need to attend special workshops in order to fully participate in the program. Regionally, contact your Country Point of Contact. If your school has not joined Globe as yet, you can still benefit from the resources offered on-line! If your country is not on the list, and you would like information about joining GLOBE, please contact the GLOBE Help Desk.
