Science & Global Education

Greetings!
Many science teachers are uncertain as to how to incorporate Global Education issues into the regular curriculum.
How can global education be taught with science, rather than a separate unit?

One answer to the question might be The Global Challenge model. (I'm biased - I run this project). It combines STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) with global IT and global business entrepreneurial thinking.
Check this out: Flickr pics of Global Challenge students
The project involved 2600 students from 50 countries last year; with 270 working in depth for up to 300 hours on their solutions. We awarded 34 students over $60,000 in scholarships and summer travel/study opportunities to attend the University of Vermont Governor's Institute on Engineering.
Here are some web sites with additional information about The Global Challenge:
