The “Look Up-Cloud Hunters 2023” Competition will give students and teachers a chance to experience what the mobile application „GLOBE Observer“ can do, by observing clouds and atmosphere conditions, and taking photos of interesting clouds with a mobile phone camera as an art activity by an STE(A)M-based approach and become the “Cloud Hunters 2023”. Students will have the opportunity to explore technology and discover that technology can have a purpose and that they can contribute as citizen scientists for a better understanding of the planet Earth as a system.
Furthermore, by taking the photos with a mobile camera, children will direct their attention to nature (clouds in the sky) and record their observations with an artistic touch. Any type of cloud or interesting meteorological phenomenon is welcomed!
The main goals are that students, together with their teachers and peers, pay attention and explore the world around them, and to raise awareness about everyday science possibilities, significantly toward the nature, weather, atmosphere conditions, and clouds observing activities.
