Goals include effectively using real time data in pursuit of
classroom research initiatives in science, to increasing the
number of satellite ground satations in schools, improve
existing grounds station capabilities, and improve
collaboration with other existing projects such as the GLOBE program. By providing an
understanding of the importance of weather and the potential
applications of satellite imagery EXPLORES! strives to increase
scientific and computer literacy among students and teachers
preparing them to meet today's technological challenges.
Teachers learning to use their new ground station.
These teachers will apply what they've learned when they return to
