The GLOBE Program seeks to teach students in grades K–12 scientific research skills using real experiments and equipment. Students, educators, and scientists collaborate in a unique global learning network.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Baker |first1=Amanda |title=The GLOBE Program: Making the Case for K–12 Citizen Scientists |url=https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/budding-scientist/the-globe-program-making-the-case-for-k-12-citizen-scientists/ |access-date=26 March 2021 |work=Scientific American Blog Network |date=19 September 2017 |language=en}}</ref> The GLOBE Program also engages members of the public as citizen scientist through the GLOBE Observer app.

The program is supported by [[Education Development Center|Education Development Center (EDC)]] and [[City College of New York|City College of New York (CUNY)]], which together operate the GLOBE Implementation Office (GIO), along with a number of partners. In addition,
==Mission==
The GLOBE Program's mission is "to increase awareness of individuals throughout the world about the global environment, contribute to increased scientific understanding of the Earth and support improved student achievement in science and mathematics."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018 |title=The GLOBE Program Strategic Plan, 2018-2023 |url=https://www.globe.gov/documents/10157/79696550/GLOBE+Strategic+Plan+2018.pdf/7ecf26f2-c41c-5315-fadc-121d24a1ee5d?t=1610047289259
Specific goals include:

The GLOBE Program provides the opportunity for students to learn by taking scientifically valid measurements in the fields of [[atmosphere]], [[hydrosphere]], [[pedosphere]], [[biosphere]], and [[Earth system science|Earth as a system]]. Students report their data through the Internet, create maps and graphs to analyze data sets, and collaborate with scientists and other GLOBE students around the world. All the GLOBE data and observations are in the [[public ___domain]] and the program is committed to [[open science]].
GLOBE has a Mosquito Habitat Mapper application for data collection.<ref>{{cite web |title=Mosquitoes Training |url=https://observer.globe.gov/training/mosquitoes |publisher=GLOBE |access-date=25 May 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171001121633/https://observer.globe.gov/training/mosquitoes |archive-date=1 October 2017}}</ref>
