They were able to analyze maps of those enslaved in 1860. Students found 11 Underground Railroads in Ohio and the distance from Ashland to those locations. Students used ArcGIS mapping, measurement, and analysis to engineer the shortest route from Ashland to each of the 11 sites across Ohio! They validated routes by measuring distance and found the shortest path to Oberlin by using geospatial analysis! #STEMUndergroundRailroad #ACSGeospatialTechnology
STEM & National Weather Service/ArcGIS
In collaboration with STEM Accelerated Coding, Mr. Jonathan Priest's junior high students were able to collect information from the National Weather Service's Sarah Jamison! Mrs. Beth Szijarto assisted students with constructing layers using ArcGIS, that were based on digital elevation models of the Cuyahoga River. The geospatial prototype helps predict damage according to flood levels! Junior high students have been working on the NOAA grant this year to provide a GIS solution for the National Weather Service! Great job students! #ACSNOAAGrant #GISNationalWeatherServicePrototype
