GLOBE is an international science and education program that provides students and the public worldwide with the opportunity to participate in data collection and the scientific process. They then may contribute meaningfully to our understanding of the Earth system and global environment. GLOBE is sponsored by NASA with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Department of State.

Team Mission

The GLOBE Mission EARTH (GME) is embedding NASA assets into the GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) Program and integrating it into the curricula of schools along the K-12 continuum. GME is leveraging existing partnerships and networks and supported through state departments of education, as a systemic, effective, and sustainable approach to meeting NASA’s science education objectives.

GLOBE Mission EARTH engages in the following activities in regards to STEM Education:



1. Improve STEM Instruction by creating developmentally appropriate vertically-integrated K-12 materials and activities which link NASA and GLOBE learning materials, supported by high quality professional development and ongoing support, engaging teachers from all grades (elementary, middle and high school) to work together in both program implementation and continuous improvement.
2. Increase and Sustain Youth and Public Engagement in STEM through project activities and engagement of citizen scientists through GLOBE’s new citizen science initiative.
3. Enhance STEM Experience for Undergraduate Students, through service learning for pre-service teachers and engineering challenges.
4. Better Serve Groups Historically Underrepresented in STEM through serving high-need school districts.
