Currently Randolph has been a participant in the GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) program. GLOBE is one of the nation’s outstanding environmental education programs, Randolph students started sending data on the Internet in the fall of 1995. Our students, together with 6000 schools in 80 nations,  share scientific data about our planet via the Internet. We have an automated roof top weather station. (Thanks to a partnership with Best Buy and WBBM-TV) Scientists use GLOBE data in their research and provide feedback to the students to enrich their science education. Images created from the student sets are posted on the World Wide Web, allowing students and visitors at the GLOBE web site to visualize the student environmental observations. . Randolph students have sent over 8 thousand measurements to the GLOBE data base since joining the program.
