Submit a GLOBE Stars Story

Brightly shining stars in outer space.

GLOBE Stars highlight extraordinary examples of projects, events, and activities conducted around the world that align with GLOBE and our mission. These stories can cover topics like:

  • Student research benefiting the environment
  • Students helping research scientists through collection and interpretation of environmental data
  • Students impacting a local community by developing community awareness or introducing new research tools and technology
  • Teachers and schools developing networks to expand GLOBE in a country or region
  • Effective collaborative endeavors

GLOBE Stars Stories are the "bright lights" that spark the imagination and inspire us with news of GLOBE at work in the world. If you have a GLOBE Stars Story you want to share with GLOBE, check out the "Guidelines for Submitting a Star Story" below.
