<div>Greetings to all from Mexico,<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div>Recently, MIT, The Technological Institute of Monterrey and
the University of the Andes have co-sponsored a request for
proposals for education, training and innovation projects in
Latin America through MIT's SOLVE initiative. The challenge
submission deadline is March 31st; judging
closes on the 24th of April. More info about the challenge can
be found in [1].<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My solution's working title is Geo-Chiapas [2], and basically
consists of creating a
workshop series that teaches fundamental geospatial concepts to
economically
vulnerable and socially disadvantaged youths in this Mexican
state. I
have begun conversations with some local NGO's and academic
institutions regarding the possibility of partnering to offer
the workshop series.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>At this stage, the workshop's form would be decidedly
'low-tech' although we are considering the approximately
week-long process to culminate in use of something like
<a href="http://geoforage.io" target="_blank">geoforage.io</a> [3] to introduce geodesign concepts into the
learning modules as well.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After a recent conversation with Vicky Vergara, I was
encouraged to reach out to the OSGeo board to seek some guidance
on the GeoChiapas project.
I'd like to formally solicit a person to be part of the
project's team
as well as the TPrize submission team in the role of "advisor" .</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The person preferably needs to have:<br>
</div>
<div>- Experience in education<br>
</div>
<div>- Geospatial training<br>
</div>
<div>- Knowledge of the Latin American region's social and
economical problems<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Vicky expressed interest in being that person, but she also
mentioned making a formal request to the OSGeo board.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am grateful for the consideration of my appeal and I look
forward to answering any questions that you may have.<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div>Sincerely,<br>
</div>
