Good Morning.

 

As mentioned in today’s CT GIS Network meeting, the state will be hosting the CT Maps Competition again this spring. This is a great opportunity for middle and high school students from across the state to showcase their ideas, passions and projects using Esri’s ArcGIS Online and Storymaps platform. The competition is free and open to any student in grades 4-12 from public, private, and homeschools. Software and licenses are available at no cost through Esri’s ArcGIS for Education bundle. Students in two divisions win cash prizes and top winners go on to compete in Esri’s national competition. All details are posted on the CT GIS Network website and the competition storymap, along with links to winning storymaps from the past few years. Please note a few important dates, listed below. Contact me at [log in to unmask] if you have questions or have interest in serving on the judging panel in May.

 

Registration deadline: April 8

State entries due: May 6

State winners announced: May 18
National winners announced by Esri: May 31
Esri event featuring national winners: June 16

 

Please pass this information on to your favorite student, teacher, school administrator, parent or interested party. Thank you! Cary
