Environmental science is personal. This session introduces CivicScape, a free geospatial platform by trubel&co, designed to bridge the gap between abstract standards and neighborhood reality. Learn to use data to center diverse community experiences and meet CA climate mandates!

Place-based Education is more than just pedagogy. It's a lens every classroom can use to engage students and bring relevance into the classroom.

This session shows how place-based, civic-minded geography can ground interdisciplinary, project-based learning across subjects, no matter your background or how much geography content you've taught before. We'll walk through how these methods work in practice and how they come together inside the CivicScape platform.

This is a free webinar about helping students find out who funds their candidates, how their representatives vote, and which bills are actually moving in partnership with New Voters and My Capitol.

For Chapter 8 of Superscript, we’ll explore the growing role of data and surveillance in modern life, from dynamic pricing and Flock cameras to the information collected by smart devices. We’ll draw on Andrew Guthrie Ferguson’s Your Data Will Be Used Against You: Policing in the Age of Surveillance to examine how smart technology and big data are reshaping privacy, policing, and civil liberties.

What if local, real-time data could transform science learning?

Explore how CivicScape helps educators teach data literacy, environmental science, and civic responsibility.

Hosted by trubel&co and Data Science 4 Everyone, this event teaches educators how to connect spatial thinking with real-world topics like data & statistics, ratio & scale, coordinate geometry, and percentages & proportions.

It provides practical classroom takeaways, including a ready-to-run activity, a transferable math framework, and a live Q&A session with presenters.
