Connect with GLOBE at the 2025 National Science Teaching Association Conference
The National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) spring conference is being held 26–29 March in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is an event that attracts people from many parts of the U.S. (and beyond), including many U.S. GLOBE Partners and educators.
If you will be attending the conference, be sure to visit the exhibit hall, where you can find NASA Science (booth #779) and Cradle of Forestry International Association (Natural Inquirer)/Forest Service (booth #241).
The GLOBE U.S. Coordination Office took a look through the NSTA conference agenda and identified sessions that will be led by GLOBE community members. Find the list of sessions below, and let us know if we missed any!
