Our Collaborations
Through the GLOBE Mission Earth program, WestEd/UC Berkeley partners with several organizations throughout our school communities including:
Home of NASA Ames Visitor Center, Chabot Space & Science Center is a non-profit science center that serves Oakland and the greater Bay Area with an Observatory, Planetarium, exhibition galleries and more.
The American River Conservancy serves our communities by ensuring healthy ecosystems within the upper American and upper Cosumnes River Watersheds through land conservation, stewardship and education.
Earth Team offers a Youth Sustainability Internship Program using GLOBE protocols for students at Skyline and Antioch High Schools. Students are trained in GLOBE hydrosphere protocols and use data collect to answer research questions. These internship programs present their research at the Pacific Regional Student Research Symposium (SRS).
Consistent with GME’s goal of building the capacity of state agencies, the GME-West team has worked with NASA Langley and responded to the New Mexico Public Education Department (PED) Math and Science Bureau’s request to build a high school curriculum using GLOBE and NASA assets aligned to New Mexico’s Next Generation Science Standards.
GME-West continues to build a relationship and develop capacity within the California Department of Education (CDE). GME-West team members were selected by the CDE to present on the GLOBE Mission EARTH program at an annual conference for California Partnership Academies at the Educating for Careers Conference in March 2018.
