Teaming up with the GRACE Project

The Keweenaw Time Traveler team welcomes its newest members — 11 local high school students! They come to us through a new partnership with the GRACE Project, an NSF-funded program started at Eastern Michigan University. GRACE is training teachers and students in underserved areas to use GIS technologies and matching them to real-world projects — like the Time Traveler! Our interns have completed initial training in ESRI software and are joining our undergrads in the vital work of identifying thousands of features on historic maps. But we also get outside! Here's a photo of the whole team exploring our landscape. More on that soon...
