Hi all,
I recently made a visit to a school as part of the Royal Geographic Society (UK)
Geography Ambassadors scheme where i spoke to kids (15/16 yr olds) about
geography in the real world. We then had an OSM editing session which was
surprisingly
successful. The kids were really interested
Hi Sam,
this is something great :) A teacher near my city invited me to his
school, too. They will do some OSM mapping in a week for school projects
and he likes if somebody from 'the real world' would give a session to
the pupils ;)
But there are are lot of people that do stuff like that
Recently there were three mapping lessons in small towns of Perm
region, Russia. It went very well, from collecting data to drawing maps
in Potlatch. At the last meeting they even tried to send a weather
baloon with a camera (but photos were no good because of strong wind).
Here is project
That is great, we have also been working with young people in kosovo
and have found some very talented editors,
We have dont presentations in schools etc.
you can see for examples some great work done by altin recently
