Each of the 20 schools was represented at the games by five
competitors, five cheerleaders, and two teachers. Student
teams competed in various disciplines covering many of the
GLOBE protocol areas, such as measuring water quality, working
with a GPS, and measuring soil temperature. The cheerleaders,
each group with its own specialist or scientist leader, had
responsibility for investigating the surroundings of the town
and presenting their observations to all participants.
Another group of students worked as reporters, preparing a special edition of the GLOBE Newsletter for distribution to the participants as well as the residents of Telc. Results of the students' observations were announced at the closing ceremony of the Games. Each participant received a special diploma and each school received a satellite image of Telc.
Congratulations to TEREZA, coordinator of the games and of
the GLOBE Program in the Czech Republic. Congratulations
also to GLOBE school Zakladni skola Hradecka in Telc and
their Deputy Director, Bozenka Kaderavkova, who helped organize
the games and find sponsors and lodging for the participants.
