SERVIR recently collaborated with the Central American Aerospace Network to lead the Jóvenes Geoespaciales (“Geospatial Youth”) workshop for 45 young students in San Miguel, El Salvador. The students used NASA Earth data and open access tools to create their own projects for local climate resilience, including maps for monitoring crop health, wildfires, and deforestation.

At the Jóvenes Geoespaciales training in El Salvador, 45 talented young students worked in groups to use NASA satellite data and Google Earth Engine to develop projects for local climate resilience. Each group learned how to develop their own ArcGIS StoryMaps web page for displaying their data, which they can use to advocate for climate action.
