Advancing Geospatial Thinking and Technologies in Grades 9-12

Supported by an Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) grant from the National Science Foundation, we are focusing on advancing geospatial thinking and technologies in grades 9-12 through exploration of citizen mapping, community engagement, and career preparation. The project seeks to raise awareness of key 21st century themes in the geographical sciences and the emerging, dynamic technologies that are used in a range of STEM, social science, and natural science disciplines as well as by citizens in their everyday lives.
