6 Detroit Public School Youth Technology Corps GIS Initiative PROJECT RATIONALE A GIS helps answer questions and solve problems by looking at data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared. EMU has secured a grant to support teacher and student GIS training through the GRACE Project (GIS/T Resources & Applications for Career Education) to provide GIS classroom experiences to 5,000 students, 300 interns and 120 teachers. GIS also offers viable and lucrative career paths for young people There is a high need for and a scarcity of GIS professionals in America ESRI supports DPS access to GIS software to support student and teacher education The City of Detroit is in desperate need of GIS services. Student interns can provide a vast array of services including: creating Story maps to promote the City of Detroit as part of a Pure Detroit campaign. mapping location and condition of fire hydrants. mapping location and condition of water and sewerage infrastructure. Students need internship experiences to validate the ESRI industry recognized certificates students earn from on-line courses
