October 2010, the GLOBE North America Regional Office attended the Expo on the Washington Mall, part of the annual USA Science Festival. This event unfolded concurrently with another GLOBE attended event, the Teacher at Sea/Teacher Research Experience meeting sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Department of Energy. This was a busy month for GLOBE in Washington D.C. since just days earlier that same month, three GLOBE students were given the honor of attending the White House Science Fair, hosted by U.S. President Barack Obama.

The Regional Office for GLOBE in Asia and the Pacific conducted a myriad of activities in 2010, ranging from student climate research events, hosting school visits by NASA officials, and growing the training team for the region. A Train-The-Trainer Workshop for participants throughout the region was held on 2–5 June 2010 at different locations in New Delhi including the Bhabha Chamber, the Scope Convention Centre, and the Lodi Road and American Centre.

On Wednesday, 13 October 2010, the "Study of Migratory Birds as Bioindicators of Climate" project held its first video conference between the San Ignacio de Recalde School in Lima, Peru, and Innoko River School in Shageluk, Alaska, United States. The project promotes the exchange of information on migratory birds, from the subarctic polar zone of Alaska to the tropical zone of Peru, allowing students to learn how migration patterns correlate to temperature and food availability, and to explore the diversity of cultures between countries. The project is scheduled to last at least one year in order to cover the full migration cycle.

The Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT) facilitated this historic launch of the first GLOBE Workshop integrating Emergency Care and Disaster Preparedness into a community training that took place at Holy Cross College, a GLOBE school in Arima, on 14-15 December 2010. The Video Conference link-up, which took place during the Opening Ceremony, was made possible through the initiative of the Corporate Communications of TSTT, a GLOBE Partner since 1997, which, as a good corporate citizen, provided the platform for students and teachers learning in virtual space.

The International Polar Year (IPY) Oslo Science Conference, the largest ever Global Impact Gathering, took place from 6-12 June 2010. The event included polar and climate scientists from all over the world, members of indigenous peoples from Scandinavia and Russia, dignitaries from Norway and other European countries including Crown Prince Haakon as well as Prince Albert of Monaco, young polar scientists from the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) and many  GLOBE community members including GLOBE Program Seasons and Biomes phenology scientist and U.S. Partner, Dr. Elena Sparrow, who also served on the overall conference organizing committee.

The Irish Voice newspaper named U.S. GLOBE Partner and Master Trainer Tony Murphy, executive director of the National Center for STEM Elementary Education at St. Catherine University, to "2010 Education 100" for his contributions to STEM education programs. "This is such a wonderful honor and humbling to be included in this group of educators from around the U.S.," Murphy said. "My appearance in this list could not have occurred without the people that I have worked with over the years and their willingness to collaborate with me on numerous projects."
