What do GPS-collected litter data and ArcGIS Online equal? Geospatial learning, of course! ArcGIS Online was introduced to 5-8th graders in a summer camp based on STEM activities. These students then transferred what they learned to collecting data and mapping for community projects. One mapping mission prevented the demolishment of a dock until after swallow fledglings were hatched. Additionally, informal research assessed the ability of students to make connections between geospatial concepts and geospatial technology.
