GLOBE@20 Project

这个快速项目通过增加机会参与真实的，基于调查的环境科学调查，支持中小学生和公众的STEM教育的进步，使用全球学习和观察有益于环境（地球仪）计划提供的科学协议和基础设施。1995年地球日发起的地球仪是一个非常成功的科学教育计划，目前在110多个国家开展。 超过66，000名教师和数百万学生参加了该计划。 在即将到来的20周年纪念活动中，地球仪正在发起一项新的公民科学运动，将地球仪扩展到传统的正规教育环境之外。如果成功的话，这一公民科学试点工作将使地球仪大大扩大其在全世界科学素养方面的影响。此外，地球仪还将启动为期一年的GLOBE@20观测活动和学生合作研究项目，最终将在2016年地球日的那一周举行新的国际科学博览会。通过专注于基于探究的科学，真实数据的使用和解决现实世界的环境问题，地球仪支持发展未来STEM素养劳动力所需的科学和批判性思维技能。 地球仪为参与者提供了与国际社区互动和合作的机会，也促进了全球意识和跨文化理解，合作和环境管理。GLOBE@20庆祝活动由NASA（地球仪运营的主要赞助商），位于UCAR的地球仪实施办公室（GIO）和WestEd共同开发，该奖项获得者。 WestEd在GLOBE@20努力中的作用包括：1）开发战略、工具和资源，以便与寻求参与试点地球仪公民科学运动的公众成员进行沟通，吸引他们并使他们能够参与; 2）制定评估规则、参与议定书和指南，以及支持2016年地球仪学生国际科学博览会实施的辅助材料;并且，在本发明中，3）制定协调一致的传播战略和资源，以展示地球仪活动的成果，并促进对参与机会的认识，通过以学校为基础的活动或以公民科学为基础的活动，开展地球仪计划的教育和研究活动。

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.
