June 10, 2021, KansasView PI and Coordinator, Dana Peterson, had the opportunity to participate in the Ecosystems of Kansas Summer Institute, where ten middle-school science teachers from around the state learned how to bring geospatial data into their classrooms. Teachers competed in AmericaView’s online satellite imagery puzzles, learned about other AmericaView’s educational resources including other StateView ESRI StoryMaps, completed an ESRI GeoInquiries activity, and learned about existing Web Mapping Applications (WMA) for Kansas related data.
