US Community Atlas project
The US Community Atlas project is an opportunity for classes in grades K-12 to put together a group project about their community, using HTML documents and GIF or JPG maps, and post this project on the web. Students must define the bounds of "their community" and prepare either a general profile or focused look at a local conservation issue (great for coordinating with science classes and the theme of this year's Geography Awareness Week). Projects must include 1000-2500 words of analysis, and 10-20 maps. The maps can be produced using either GIS software (such as freely available ArcVoyager Special Edition) or online mapping engines. Schools submitting complete entries will earn free GIS software from ESRI.

Projects can be submitted starting August 15, 2000. Full details, including a model project from last year, plus suggestions for online mapping sites and training options for teachers, are available at: http://www.esri.com/communityatlas
