Annual funding (2020-2021) from AmericaView allowed IowaView staff to survey Iowa public school K-12 superintendents and teachers to understand how GIS and remote sensing were being used in K-12 school districts and classrooms in Iowa. The surveys also provided a starting point for outreach and a way to assess if there is a need to improve knowledge and access to available resources such as Esri’s free educational licensing and educational materials as a way to build a foundation of GIS education throughout the state.
