The GLOBE Program Office wants to hear stories of projects and people who shine. These are our 'Stars,' the bright lights that spark our imagination and inspire us with news of GLOBE at work in the world.
Tell us about the Stars in your universe! Write to us about students, teachers, schools, projects or awards that you would like to bring to the attention of the worldwide GLOBE community. Our editorial staff is here to help with a final version.
What we are looking for:
GLOBE is particularly interested in hearing stories that are of interest to our education community. Students doing GLOBE offer a wealth of opportunities for stories and can be inspiring to students elsewhere. Consider topics such as these:
- how student research impacts the community
- how GLOBE, an international science and education program, connects students to the rest of the world
- how students help research scientists understand the Earth
The GLOBE website also welcomes news about workshops, meetings and the growth and development of the program in general. We are always looking for stories about:
- how a professional development workshop promotes technology in schools
- how the involvement of local scientists and partners benefits the community
Successful stories include one or more of the following points:
- Timeliness: Information should be released as soon as possible.
- Impact: Relate how the event affects the community in the present or future.
- Quotations: Quotes make a story come alive. Be sure to gather the words of students or others who can offer insight or anecdotes.
We welcome photographs to accompany your story. To post photos on our site, we'll need a photo release from every person in the photograph.
