GIS Education for Sustainable Development 

I will be presenting on Use of Cartography in Promoting Education for Sustainable Development at Wildlife Clubs of Kenya this month. Objective: To understand how to use & incorporate Cartography as an ESD tool and in developing educational materials

I champion involving young learners in mapping as it is beneficial to most if not all professions.

Any helpful input is welcomed.

Sounds excellent! I don't have any practical experience unfortunately (I only taught GIS at university level) but I came across some of the ESRI resources that may be useful in general. 

Are you presenting as part of a workshop or a conference and are you focusing on a specific age group?

I would like to help out, how best can i communicate over the same. 

 

Currently i am developing a framework for a comprehensive data analytics software designed for data pipeline management and insights generation in order to build the data infrastructure necessary for further analytic ventures

 

Hi Cathy,

Wondering how much time you have. Seems like participatory 3d modeling/mapping might be a cool hands on  and visual approach. Tons of resources and how-to's if you do a search for it.

Best,

Vance
