2021 IVSS Reports Can Now Be Uploaded – Reports Must Be Uploaded by 10 March
Reports for the 2021 International Virtual Science Symposium (IVSS) can now be uploaded. Teachers have until 10 March to upload their students’ IVSS reports; however, reports will not be published on the website until late February.
The focus of the 2021 IVSS is Data Analysis. Students are welcome to use new or old data in their projects. GIO is also encouraging students to present research in creative ways – such as using storytelling tools (video, online, etc.).

Miss the January Webinar? The Recording is Available!
In January, GIO hosted the webinar: “STEM Storytelling from an Apache Point of View.” The webinar is part of a series of webinars focused on helping students craft their reports for the 2021 IVSS. The webinar featured four speakers from Mescalero, New Mexico, USA, as they discussed STEM storytelling and their experiences creating projects for the IVSS: Nate Raynor (Mescalero Apache School Teacher), Butch Blazer (Former President of the Mescalero Apache Tribe), and two students from the Mescalero Apache School, Kameryn Chino and Shylo Cochise-Klinekole.

Have You Checked Out the New Student Blog?
The new Student Blog is a place for GLOBE students to share about their past experiences with the IVSS, the U.S. Student Research Symposia (SRS), and GLOBE events. On this blog, you can share:
- what you have learned working with others during the IVSS process;
- what it was like working with professionals in STEM;
- what you would change and/or do differently next time; and
- mistakes you learned during the process.
