Esri’s Middle and High School Map Competition: IT’S NOT TOO LATE!
Have you considered having your students enter the Esri Middle/High School Map Competition? There’s still time to register to participate in this year’s competition.
What’s holding you back?
-
Unsure of how to add one more thing to do during the school day?
-
Feeling bogged down by the required curriculum or meeting standards?
-
Need a refresher or introduction to the ArcGIS Online or StoryMaps software?
-
Need an idea for a topic?
-
Not sure what subject you need to teach in order to submit projects?
-
Don’t have the organizational account?
-
Forgot where to find the information and forms?
-
Don’t know the requirements or how it will be judged?
This meet-up will get you started and answer the questions above. Many, many projects are not started until mid to late March – or even until April. Fabulous prizes await your students!
And we won’t only be talking about the competition. We will include a refresher of how to access and develop a StoryMap, as well as how to add maps into the StoryMap narrative.
Take a chance – learn how to involve your students in a learning challenge! Or even if not interested in a competition, join us to learn more about storytelling through maps.
There is no cost to attend, but please consider donating to support our GSC GIS Teacher Meet-Up and other Geographic Society of Chicago programming.
Don't forget you can visit the GSC website 24/7 at geographicsociety.org.
