Illinois was founded in 1818 and will soon be commemorating its Bicentennial. As our State’s 200 birthday approaches we invite Illinois students to participate in the celebration through the “Illinois Bicentennial” story map competition.
Entrants must be pre-collegiate students registered in grades 4-12, from Illinois public schools or non-public schools including home schools, under age 19, who have not yet received a high school diploma or equivalent.
Create an original "presentation", "web app" or "story map" using ArcGIS Online to tell an interesting story to celebrate Illinois' Bicentennial . ArcGIS Online is available to any K-12 school in the United States free of charge through ConnectEd Esri.
