Globe visits take place in the school gymnasium. The space must have a measured height with no obstructions of at least 20 feet for EarthView 1 (hand-painted) and 22 feet for EarthView 2 (satellite image). It is important that no obstructions or hot lights (i.e. halogen) are present below 24 feet. If hot lights are present in the vicinity for EarthView, please turn them off at least 30 minutes prior to the program. Please review the EarthView program guidelines for more information.

EarthView globe visits take place on Fridays. Check as additional dates may become available in May and June. A typical schedule includes 30-minute sessions of interactive instruction, discussion and activities.

School visits are appropriate for all grades, K-12. We tailor our instruction to each grade level. Our program can be themed to align with your curriculum if you choose. Example themes include climate change, physical geography (landforms, plate tectonics, oceans, continental shelf, water resources, etc.) and human geography (migration, culture, major world religions, languages, etc.). We typically touch upon most of these themes in our general program.

Depending on the grade level, 20-25 students per group can participate. Each group visit runs for about 30 minutes, and we can accommodate up to nine groups.
