Budući da je Hrvatska jedna od najaktivnijih zemalja u regiji Europa-Euroazija,  željeli su posjetiti nekoliko hrvatskih škola. Budući da je naša škola jedna od najaktivnijih GLOBE škola te da je poznata po svojim uspješnim istraživačkim GLOBE projektima (po preporuci dr.sc. Diana Garašić, nacionalne koordinatorice za Program GLOBE), posjetit će našu školu u ponedjeljak 28. listopada u poslijepodnevnim satima kako bi održali kratko izlaganje o njihovom znanstvenom radu i istraživanju u NASA-i i GLOBE programu i kako bi porazgovarali sa zainteresiranim učenicima i profesorima.
