GIS in High School Education: Developing Community Projects
Track: Community Projects and Partnerships
Author(s): Mila Lynne Floro

High school EAST students in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, use GIS to serve their community through various mapping projects. Students have taken earlier mapping projects and added new analytical dimensions to them. For example, for their fire hydrants project, students started with analyzing one-way streets, narrow streets that fire trucks cannot use, and the city’s main water lines. The students are currently including other elements, like elevation data, to further help the emergency personnel.
