On Wednesday, April 6, Esri will be hosting two busloads of 11th grade students from LA’s Roosevelt High School and one busload from LA’s Diego Rivera Learning Complex.
wil.i.am’s i.am.angel Foundation and Esri have been partnering ever since to provide ArcGIS software to the students of the Math, Science & Technology Magnet Academy at Roosevelt High School in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. With the help of some spectacular teachers – Mariana Ramirez, Alice Im, Nicki Morales, and Enrique Legaspi – and Roosevelt High School principal Jose Espinoza, these students have been learning how to use ArcGIS online on HP workstations and create presentations with Story Maps. The first year of the program saw 80 students using maps to start transforming their Boyle Heights neighborhood. They looked at brown fields and green spaces in the community, and presented their findings at the Esri User Conference on the plenary mainstage.
Check out this video produced by Esri partner HP about the school. And don’t miss the final projects at Esri UC this year!
