Track: Learning and Research Lightning Talk
Authors: Maria Brown, Michael Sperazza

Stony Brook University and Sayville High School have implemented a Pilot Program where students enroll for university credit in the GIS Design & Application course and receive 4 credits through the Accelerated College Education Program (ACE) upon completion. The course is taught at the high school by a trained secondary educator. Students complete a service based GIS project for an organization. A new ACE GIS Teacher Training Program is currently being developed for the summer of 2015.
