Locators: Adventure in South America<\/h2>\n

The recently released\u00a0Locators: Adventure in South America<\/em> by Kyle Bauer, Colleen Conner, and myself, Wesley Jones, follows a group of kids as they solve real-world issues using maps and spatial reasoning. It is a great chapter adventure\/activity book letting you complete missions alongside the Locator team.<\/p>\n

Here is the Learn ArcGIS site<\/a>\u00a0that gives more information. It contains a great trailer video, plus it allows you to download all the activities in the book. This is a great resource for parents and teachers.<\/p>\n

Here is the link to the book<\/a><\/p>\n

Sneak peek behind some of the activities<\/h2>\n

I had the fortune of illustrating the book and activities. One major goal was to mimic and match the real-world places and scenarios from the adventure.\u00a0 When you are gamifying something, you take some artistic liberties, but I tried really hard to keep the essence of a place. Let’s look at four examples.<\/p>\n

The story begins with the team crashing near Pico Da Neblina.

Pretty straightforward location. Below is how that area was gamified. You can see things are relatively accurate. The Mountains are in the north and even that one highlands in the middle is represented. The south is anchored by Rio Negro. I kept the big bend in the river as it is one of its defining features. The only real major difference are the size of the secondary rivers (but trust me, looking around the imagery, there are a lot).<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1321992,"id":1321992,"title":"Area 01","filename":"Area-01.jpg","filesize":1713177,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Area-01.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis\/education\/locators-adventure-in-south-america\/area-01","alt":"Area 01","author":"4551","description":"","caption":"","name":"area-01","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1321772,"date":"2021-08-11 20:09:22","modified":"2021-08-11 20:09:48","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1275,"height":1597,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Area-01-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Area-01.jpg","medium-width":208,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Area-01.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":962,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Area-01.jpg","large-width":862,"large-height":1080,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Area-01-1226x1536.jpg","1536x1536-width":1226,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Area-01.jpg","2048x2048-width":1275,"2048x2048-height":1597,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Area-01-371x465.jpg","card_image-width":371,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Area-01-862x1080.jpg","wide_image-width":862,"wide_image-height":1080}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
