Pre-College National Mission Programs

The GLOBE Program

MSSD is a participant in the GLOBE Program . GLOBE provides an opportunity for pre-college students to collaborate in an actual scientific study. Currently GLOBE students all over the world are taking daily environmental measurements at their schools and sharing their data via the internet. The project entails a partnership between students, teachers, and scientists:
