shrug-l: August is Blue Marble Geographics’ Academic Month

[Rachael Landry]

In August, Blue Marble Geographics, a Maine-based developer of GIS and
geodetic software, will be hosting a month-long series of online events
<https://www.bluemarblegeo.com/academic-programs/blue-marble-academic-month-august-2021/>
to showcase the company’s academic programs, including no-cost access to
its software for universities and colleges in the US and Canada as well as
free curriculum and teaching materials.

With an extensive collection of powerful geospatial tools, Blue Marble’s
Global Mapper software is ideally suited for the task of introducing
students to the core principles of GIS. Throughout the month of August,
teachers and faculty will have an opportunity to learn how the use of this
innovative software in the classroom will provide students with the
knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the geospatial industry.

The program will feature:

   - An interactive webinar in which faculty share their experience
   teaching with Global Mapper.
   - A free workshop for teachers introducing the key functionality of
   Global Mapper.
   - An overview of the academic labs, a series of structured lessons that
   are freely available to all colleges and universities.
   - A school spotlight feature, in which we share some of the work being
   done with Global Mapper in the classroom.
   - The announcement about the availability of the 2021-2022 Blue Marble
   academic scholarship.
   - And much more.
