This module allows students to step back from their research and analysis and take action on their findings. They review their hypothesis and findings. They define the problems they have analyzed and work with the community to make positive changes. This training focuses on developing ArcView GIS skills and understanding the available data. Because the data for the course is provided by ITD, participants must sign a licensing agreement that specifies the noncommercial use of the City data.
Participants can complete a customized project during training.
Teachers can repeat the training as many times as they want and are allowed to bring as many as three students with them. ArcView GIS user group meetings are held monthly, and former participants receive periodic updates from the Youth and Education Programs Office. AuThenTiCITY is the result of cooperation between the City and the educators of Phoenix. AuThenTiCITY would not have been possible without support from these entities. The continued success of AuThenTiCITY rests on the strong foundation provided by the City's Youth and Education and GIS programs.
