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
geoforage.io [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" .<br></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><div><br></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block"><div class="protonmail_signature_block-user"><div><span><span style="color:rgb(136, 136, 136)">Arturo
