• Be inspired by young students and their desire to create a sustainable world through shared understanding. 

• The students employ project-based learning, using the latest GIS tools to explore and analyze current situations and learn how to develop solutions. 

• The unique Geospatial Semester program goes beyond "following prescribed steps to learn content" to "designing strategies that build understanding and yield solutions”.
