GLOBE Mission Earth Educators Participate in Land Cover Community of Practice

Pusulam brief

NASA's GLOBE Mission Earth project brings together educators to refine how students interact with satellite land cover data through collaboration with NASA Langley Research Center. This initiative combines science education with environmental observation to prepare students for climate and Earth science research.

Democratizes access to critical land cover data essential for environmental monitoring and climate research. Strengthens STEM education and prepares informed citizens for environmental challenges.

During the 2025-2026 school year, educators from the NASA Science Activation Program’s GLOBE (Global Learning and Observation to Benefit the Environment) Mission Earth project participated in a specialized Community of Practice led by NASA Langley Research Center to refine how students interact with NASA’s land cover data (MODIS, Landsat, and Sentinel-2).

Why good news?

Empowers students with access to real NASA satellite data for authentic scientific research. Professional educator collaboration improves teaching quality and student engagement. Builds environmental and climate literacy in younger generations.

Why it matters?

Democratizes access to critical land cover data essential for environmental monitoring and climate research. Strengthens STEM education and prepares informed citizens for environmental challenges.
