When I read the mission of GLOBE, my first reaction reminded me of when I was a teenager, many years ago, remembering the old-fashioned Coke commercials of a long line of people holding hands and singing "I would like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony." There is so much negative press about the US government that I was pleased to see that NASA and other US government agencies build GLOBE.
Currently, 110 countries participate in GLOBE. I was also encouraged that companies like Goldman Sachs recognize the significance of such projects that mesh together the scientific minds of our world for the sole purpose of sharing such information with students. Students, teachers and scientists from around the world manage the outcome of the GLOBE projects, and together, the world works towards an effective, productive environment, hopefully increasing the level of tolerance for one another while expanding the future pool of engineers, technologists, mathematicians, and scientists. Check out GLOBE for yourself at the URL listed below.
