During this 45-minute webinar, which will begin at 8 p.m. EDT, Dr. Kevin Czajkowski (Dr. C) will review the GLOBE surface temperature data submitted during the solar eclipse.

GLOBE Mission EARTH (GME) is a collaborative of multiple institutions across the United States. GME’s mission is to improve education and involvement in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by increasing participation of students and citizens in The GLOBE Program. Specifically, GME supports STEM education in elementary school through middle school, high school, and college by integrating GLOBE/NASA materials into K-12 science instruction. The overarching aim of MISSION EARTH is to produce national systemic change in STEM education through the creation of a recommended curriculum progression for diverse school districts across the United States.
