21st GLOBE Annual Meeting

有益于环境的全球学习和观测（GLOBE）项目是一项国际科学和科学教育合作项目，由美国国家航空航天局（NASA）和美国国家科学基金会（NSF）共同支持，NOAA、国务院和美国国际开发署（USAID）也提供了额外的实物支持。GLOBE采用基于探究、基于地点和基于问题的教学法，直接支持国家在科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学科中吸引新一代多元化学生的努力，并鼓励他们考虑从事STEM领域的职业。GLOBE年度会议汇集了GLOBE国家协调员和美国伙伴关系协调员、支持GLOBE的科学界成员以及赞助机构的代表。年度会议提供了一个场所，既可以分享通过社区创造性努力开发的GLOBE实施的最佳实践，也可以提供关于使用GLOBE计划资源和技术的额外培训。这将是GLOBE的第21届年会，为社区提供了一个反思和庆祝他们取得的许多成就的机会，并将重点放在有效实施该计划的新机会上。该奖项为2017年GLOBE年会提供部分支持，该年会将于7月30日至8月3日在康涅狄格州纽黑文的南康涅狄格州立大学举行。预计全球社区的150多名成人成员和50多名学生成员将参加。大学大气研究联盟（UCAR）和GLOBE执行办公室（GIO）正在领导这次会议的规划工作，GLOBE社区的其他成员也作出了贡献。本次会议的具体目标包括：1)审议一套与城市地区沿海复原力相关的研究议定书；2)通过科学展览等方式分享在社区实施GLOBE的最佳实践，并强调公众参与科学的机会；3)向参与者介绍当前的GLOBE技术，以帮助学生进行研究并提交研究报告供同行评审；4)允许学生在第四届学生研究展览上展示他们的研究成果；5)利用GLOBE协议组织学生进行科学研究实地考察；6)以GLOBE为教育背景，分享STEM公平和包容的最佳实践。作为为期一周的会议的一部分，将组织为期两天的基于GLOBE协议的学生研究体验。

The Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) program is a cooperative international science and science education program jointly supported by NASA and NSF, with additional in-kind support from NOAA, Department of State, and USAID. Using inquiry-based, place-based, and problem-based pedagogies, GLOBE directly supports national efforts to engage a new generation of diverse students in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines and encourage them to consider careers in STEM. GLOBE annual meetings bring together GLOBE Country Coordinators and U.S. Partnership Coordinators, members of the scientific community that support GLOBE, and representatives of the sponsoring agencies. Annual meetings provide a venue for both sharing of best practices for GLOBE implementation that have been developed through the creative efforts of the community, as well as additional training in the use of GLOBE program resources and technology. This will be the 21st annual meeting for GLOBE, offering an opportunity for the community to both reflect on and celebrate their many accomplishments and focus on effective implementation of emerging opportunities for the program. This award provides partial support for the 2017 GLOBE Annual Meeting, which is being held July 30- August 3 at Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven, CT. Over 150 adult members and 50 student members of the worldwide GLOBE community are expected to attend. The University Consortium for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) and the GLOBE Implementation Office (GIO) are leading the planning effort for this meeting, with contributions from other members of the GLOBE community. Specific objectives for this meeting include:1) considering a set of protocols for research related to coastal resilience in urban areas; 2) sharing best practices for implementing GLOBE in communities such as through science fairs and highlighting public participation in science opportunities; 3) introducing participants to current GLOBE technology that helps students to conduct research and present research for peer review; 4) allowing students to present their research at the 4th Student Research Exhibition; 5) engaging students in a scientific research field trip using GLOBE protocols; and 6) sharing best practices for STEM Equity and Inclusion by using GLOBE as the educational context. A 2-day student research experience based on GLOBE protocols will be organized as part of the week long meeting.
