2018 IVSS Informational Webinar Recording is Available
Did you miss – or would you like to revisit – the 2018 GLOBE International Virtual Science Symposium (IVSS) informational webinar held on 25 October? The recording is available, just click here! The slides are also available, just click here!
The IVSS is a way for students from all GLOBE countries to showcase their hard work. With GLOBE, students learn the practices of science through hands-on investigations in their own communities, sparking their curiosity and interest in science. This often leads to inquiries that help solve real-world problems and further understanding of our global environment. Now it's time for your students to show the world what they've learned!

Teachers: Do you have questions for a scientist or another STEM professional? We are trying something new this year! If you would like assistance or mentoring for your IVSS project, fill in a form with your information here: Student Groups Looking for Mentors. We'll then post the information and interested GISN members or others STEM professionals can contact you. Once you hear from a mentor, let us know and we'll remove your advertisement. Try to be as specific as possible about what sort of assistance your students need!
GISN Members and STEM Professionals: There are several ways for you to participate in the IVSS this year:
- Check the Student Groups Looking for Mentors page to see what student groups need help. You can contact them via the email address provided. This is something new we are trying this year!
- Sign up to be a mentor or a judge on the Volunteer Sign-Up page. More information about these will be provided on the page.
New information will be added to the GLOBE website, so be sure to check back soon!
