COGA created an online map through ArcGIS online to show the geographic range of visitors to the tour of the Giant Map of the Pacific. This map shows a yellow point for each school that had a student visit the Cool Science Festival Map, and red dots for the individual schools visited. Click on the points to see how many students visited from that area! Additionally, visit the ArcGIS map link to see the geographic range of visitors to the tour of the Giant Map of Africa. The green dots show the schools the map visited and the orange dots represent where young kids came from to visit the map.
