K-12 Outreach by Stacy Doore
PhD candidate Stacy Doore has worked extensively with local school districts implementing spatial thinking curriculum and mentoring high school students to use geospatial technologies in K-12 classrooms. Ms. Doore served from 2007-2010 as an NSF GK-12 Fellow in Bangor High School working with BHS geography teacher, Margaret Chernosky, to create the first GIS in Geography course in Maine. Students learned spatial analysis techniques and conducted community based research projects using a variety of geospatial technologies including GIS software, ground penetrating radar, satellite imagery, and GPS data. The work at Bangor High School generated interest in the College of Education and Human Development at the University of Maine for a graduate course offering for K-12 teachers, EDT 598 Geographic Information Science in Education, offered Fall 2009 by Doore and Chernosky. Since 2008, Ms. Doore has led GIS and geoscience technology workshops in the SCIS computer labs for STEM on-campus experiences for groups including Adventure Girls (Girls Scouts), 4H clubs, and middle school girls (Expanding Your Horizons). She remains active in these activities.
