Revisions for Grassroots Mapping youth curriculum

2 CURRENT	warren	November 08, 2012 12:12 \| about 12 years ago This page was imported from the old Grassroots Mapping Wiki, and dates from 2009-10 Several groups (need to list them here) are working on grassroots mapping-related curricula in various sites. This is a page to help share work, combine efforts, and hopefully create a generalized curricula which can be adopted for use in new projects. Current Curricular Development Projects GrassrootsMappingLima implemented a curriculum based on this document: GrassrootsMappingLimaCurriculum NuVoWorkshop - a late April 2010 2-week intensive mapping workshop with high school students from around Boston Mikel Maron at MapKibera.org is also organizing curricular efforts. The DepartmentOfPlay at MIT's Center for Future Civic Media (Jeff/grassrootsmapping.org is a member) is developing a mapping curriculum as part of its summer 2010 Urban Learning Labs. More soon. If you are working on a curriculum please feel free to add yourself to this list. Materials To hold a workshop/class on balloon mapping, be sure to look over the BalloonMaterialsList for prices and links to online sources. Outline Typically we try to situate the mapping exercises and tool-building in a specific geographic situation; participants may be interested in mapping their own community and/or supporting a community in need -- even a distant community. A short workshop can be a few hours long, involving building a basic SodaBottleRig or Picavet suspension and attaching to a balloon to do a short BalloonAerialPhotography flight. A more in-depth workshop can consist of several days or up to two weeks, and can include the following activities, based on participant age and area of interest: Discussion of existing maps of target community Hand drawing maps Exploring the neighborhood, interviewing neighbors Flying kites, observing weather patterns for possible balloon flights Building a SodaBottleRig or a BalloonAerialPhotography (Picavet) rig Hold a design competition for a camera capsule: strength, low weight, low cost, ease of assembly, access to camera controls, protection of camera from impact, stability in wind and turbulence, portability: Materials list for rig: RigCompetition Trash bag balloon construction Flights!! Flight analysis: what worked and didn't View captured images, rectify them Print map Trace map with tracing paper and/or digital tools History/future activities: how has the community evolved? how will it evolve in the next 5 years? 10? 50?
