Open Call: Science Maps for Kids (website accessed 12/08/2011)

The Places & Spaces: Mapping Science exhibit, at our academic partner Indiana University, has launched its 8th iteration with an open call for "science maps that kids aged 5-14 can use to gain a more holistic understanding and appreciation of science and technology." The selected maps are displayed in exhibits, published in print and online, and made available for purchase. This is a great opportunity to create and contribute maps that do two important things for young people: teach them about an aspect of science and interest them in mapping and visualization as a medium. For consideration, submit your maps by January 10th, 2012. All the details can be found at: http://scimaps.org/call.
