2022 NH Student Map Competition

[Lilja, Rebecca -FS]

 

Have your students made maps about New Hampshire?   

 

Turn them into a Story Map and enter them into the 2022 NH Student Map Competition for a  chance at a $100 prize, sponsored by Esri and brought to you by NHEdGIS and NHSTE.  Esri challenges US students to conduct and share projects about something in their home state. Esri's 2022 ArcGIS Online Competition is open to high school ("HS," gr.9-12) and middle school ("MS," gr.4-8) students in participating states in the US who can gather, create, analyze, interpret, and present data via an ArcGIS StoryMap.

 

To Enter

• Students must be in grades 4^th -12^th (including home school).
• Entries must be in the form of a ArcGIS Story Map ("new" template).
• Entries must focus on content within the state borders. States may choose to refine the focus further, but the geographic scope of the project must be within the state. The project may reference data outside the state "for context," but may not extend the focus of the study beyond the state borders. For example, broader patterns of environmental characteristics or demographic movements may be referenced for context, but the focus must be on phenomena within the state.  Check out the past winners!
• All School Entries must be submitted by 5pm ET on Wednesday, May 11, 2022 using the "SchoolToState" sheet and send it to rebecca...@usda.gov . State finalists will be announced on May 18, 2022. 
• We highly encourage teachers to gather permission forms for all state entries.  All state finalists will need a signed permission form.

 

Prizes

• The top 5 middle school and top 5 high school maps will win a $100 prize and will be submitted to the 2022 National ArcGIS Online U.S. School Competition!  Winners of the national competition will highlighted at Esri's Education Summit.
• All teachers who submit student maps will also be entered into a $100 raffle!
