 Hi Heather and dear HOT community,

 Great to learn about your projects! I would like to be in contact about
 this topic.

 A couple of years ago, we have been conducting mapping workshops with
 children (4th and 9th grade) and college students on Nicaragua's Caribbean
 Coast:

 Here are a couple of articles (in English):

 Here you can find the publication of the community effort and the
 methodology we elaborated:

Dear Heather and all,
as Cristiano said, over the last few years we have organized at Politecnico
di Milano what we called "mini-mapathons" in primary schools around Como
and Milan (Italy) with 9 and 10 year-old children. For those interested,
here you can find a paper about the educational value of the experience (it
contains an analysis based on a questionnaire filled by the children after
the event):
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6BKomTX0AsKMnByQjhDZGFsYkk
I am strongly interested in this topic so I'm happy to further chat about
this.

Hi Heather and all,

Marco from Politecnico di Milano has been organizing similar events with
even younger kids (fifth-graders!) and the results were impressive. I'm
sure he'd be happy to share his opinions and experience.

Hi Heather & list,
tl;dr; - Let's chat.

Since the beginning of the year, TeachOSM has been collaborating with the
American Geographical Society[1] to host a series of online workshops for
high school (but also college) instructors. The workshops are designed to
augment basic mapping training by helping teachers take the next step of
integrating open mapping to their curricula., The workshops also act as an
ongoing support service and forum for project development.

As part of this collaboration, we're pulling together a 4-part Open Mapping
Summer Camp for teachers. It has not been announced yet as details are
still pending. But our plan is to introduce and test the modules in the
TeachOSM for High School curriculum[2]. The curriculum is designed to
compliment the AP Human Geography curriculum.[3]

That's the gist of it. Happy to chat with any and all. Cheers,
