This RAPID project supports the advancement of STEM education among elementary and secondary students and the general public through increasing opportunities to participate in authentic, inquiry-based science investigations of the environment using scientific protocols and infrastructure offered by the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) program. The GLOBE program, launched on Earth Day 1995, is a highly successful, science education program that now operates in more than 110 countries. Over 66,000 teachers and millions of students have participated in the program. In conjunction with the upcoming 20th anniversary of the program, GLOBE is launching a new citizen science campaign that will expand GLOBE beyond its traditional focus on formal education settings. If successful, this pilot citizen science effort will allow GLOBE to greatly expand its reach and impact on science literacy worldwide. In addition, GLOBE will initiate a year-long GLOBE@20 campaign of observations and collaborative student research projects that will culminate in a new International Science Fair that will be held during the week of Earth Day 2016. With its focus on inquiry-based science, use of authentic data, and addressing real-world environmental problems, GLOBE supports development of the scientific and critical thinking skills necessary for tomorrow's STEM-literate workforce. The opportunities offered by GLOBE to engage and collaborate with an international community of participants also promote global awareness and cross-cultural understanding, collaboration, and environmental stewardship.The GLOBE@20 celebration events are being co-developed by NASA (primary sponsor of GLOBE operations), the GLOBE Implementation Office (GIO) based at UCAR, and WestEd, recipient of this award. WestEd's role in the GLOBE@20 efforts include: 1) developing the strategies, tools, and resources for communicating with, engaging, and enabling participation of members of the public who seek to participate in the pilot GLOBE citizen science campaign; 2) developing the assessment rubrics, participation protocols and guides, and supporting materials that underpin implementation of the 2016 International Science Fair for GLOBE students; and, 3) developing the coherent communications strategy and resources to showcase the outcomes of GLOBE program activities and promote awareness of opportunities to participate in on-going GLOBE program education and research activities, either through school-based or citizen science-based activities.

这一快速项目支持在中小学生和普通公众中推进STEM教育，方法是利用全球有益于环境的学习和观察(GLOBAL)计划提供的科学方案和基础设施，增加参与真实、基于探究的环境科学调查的机会。全球计划于1995年地球日启动，是一项非常成功的科学教育计划，目前在110多个国家开展活动。超过6.6万名教师和数百万名学生参加了该计划。在该计划即将到来的20周年之际，Globe正在发起一项新的公民科学活动，该活动将使Globe超越其传统的关注正规教育的环境。如果成功，这项公民科学试点工作将使全球大大扩大其覆盖范围和对全球科学素养的影响。此外，GLOBE还将发起一项为期一年的GLOBE@20观测和合作学生研究项目活动，最终将在2016年地球日一周期间举行新的国际科学博览会。GLOBAL专注于以探究为基础的科学，使用真实的数据，并解决现实世界的环境问题，支持培养未来懂STEM的劳动力所需的科学和批判性思维技能。GLOBE提供的与国际参与者社区接触和合作的机会也促进了全球意识和跨文化理解、合作和环境管理。GLOBE@20个庆祝活动正在由NASA(GLOBE行动的主要赞助商)、总部设在UCAR的GLOBE实施办公室(GIO)和该奖项的获得者WestEd共同开发。WESTED在GLOBE@20活动中的作用包括：1)开发战略、工具和资源，用于与寻求参与全球公民科学运动试点活动的公众进行交流、接触和促进参与；2)制定评估准则、参与协议和指南，以及支持材料，以支持2016年全球学生国际科学博览会的实施；以及3)开发连贯的传播战略和资源，以展示全球计划活动的成果，并通过学校活动或公民科学活动提高对参与正在进行的全球计划教育和研究活动的机会的认识。
