It links students, teachers and the scientific- research community in an effort to learn more about the environment through student data and observation. Students, aged five to 18, in schools worldwide conduct a continuing programmes of scientifically meaningful environmental measurements.

Globe students transmit their data to a central data-processing facility via the Internet, receive vivid images composed of their data and data from other Globe schools around the world, acquiring information from a variety of sources and collaborating with scientists and communities worldwide in using these data for education and research. Globe goals are to enhance the environmental awareness of individuals throughout the world, contributing to scientific understanding of the earth, encouraging students to self-learn and get involved in various stages in scientific research and helping them to reach higher levels of achievement in mathematics, English and in the use of a computer.
