How did you connect with your collaborator? My daughter was a 6th grade student at Namaste Charter School this past year and I worked for several years with different teachers and principals on learning about ArcGIS Online and finally set up student accounts for the 6th graders to make a few maps related to their Social Studies lessons. Professor Judy Bock (board member of Geographic Society of Chicago) also came to the school and spoke with the principal about the ArcGIS Online software and free school account to help show the value and connection to STEM learning. I helped the school apply for the free ArcGIS Online
