Plotting Paths
Our nonprofit teaches K-12 students the power of GIS—using data, drones, and maps to build skills for careers in almost every field. They gain a new way of seeing the world—and the tools to reshape it.
What is GIS?
Geographic Information Systems give us a new way of seeing the world. By layering data on maps, GIS reveals patterns and connections we might otherwise miss—how a disease spreads, where floods will hit hardest, the quickest path for deliveries. GGI teach GIS, enabling better choices for survival, fairness, and progress. More

“When you connect young people to an activity that’s fun and relevant to nearly any career—business, science, conservation, health care, and more—everybody wins.”
