<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Visualize Your Water</strong></span></p> <p>Visualize Your Water is an exciting challenge that will equip high school students with new technology skills and help to broaden their understanding of nutrient pollution issues. Students will submit their best, most innovative visualization that tells a story about nutrient pollution in a local waterway.</p> <img class="wp-image-112291 size-medium alignleft" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/challenge-gov/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/15409508130_9b311e928a_o-300x300.jpg" alt="Credit: Patricia M." width="300" height="300" /> <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Background</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: left;">Nutrient pollution is one of America’s most widespread and costly environmental problems. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Geological Survey, Great Lakes Observing System, Esri (contributor of geographic information system (GIS) mapping software to the White House ConnectED Initiative), with assistance from the U.S. Department of Education, have come together to initiate the Visualize Your Water challenge. This Challenge seeks to engage the innovative spirit of high school students in the Great Lakes and Chesapeake Bay watershed states to create compelling visualizations about nutrient pollution using GIS software and water quality data collected by federal, state and local efforts. The Visualize Your Water Challenge will help students cultivate career-oriented skills and learn about local nutrient pollution issues while encouraging environmental stewardship. This Challenge continues the work of the Challenging Nutrients Coalition, a coalition of federal agencies and non-governmental organizations, to improve our ability to measure, understand and reduce nutrient pollution.</p> <strong>How do teachers get involved?</strong> This challenge is an opportunity to bring GIS and water quality education into the classroom! Teachers can use this challenge in or out of the class room, and provide students the opportunity to engage (singly or in teams) with an important environmental issue (water quality) and a robust technology for visualization and analysis (GIS). <strong>Where to begin? </strong>The <a href="https://esri.app.box.com/vywgettingstartedguide" target="_blank" rel="attachment wp-att-112311">Getting Started Guide</a> provides students and teachers with resources and instruction on how to use digital mapping technology to prepare submission and how to enter the Visualize Your Water Challenge. <ul> <li><strong>Get Started:</strong> <ol> <li>Request your free ArcGIS Online School account for access to free software <a href="http://www.esri.com/connected" target="_blank">HERE.</a></li> <li>Learn about GIS and nutrient pollution by checking out the <a href="https://esri.app.box.com/vywgettingstartedguide" target="_blank">Getting Started Guide.</a></li> <li style="text-align: left;">Create your solution!</li> <li style="text-align: left;">Submit your solution and submission form.</li> <li style="text-align: left;">Note the submission confirmation in your browser window.</li> </ol> </li> </ul> <p ><strong>Introductory Resources</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCicSNnKUvM" target="_blank">U.S. EPA video on Nutrient Pollution</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.govloop.com/resources/story-mapping-chesapeake%E2%80%8B/" target="_blank">Story Mapping Environmental Success in the Chesapeake </a></p> <p ><a href="http://www.cgll.org/for-educators/webinar-archive/visualize-your-water-challenge-webinar/" target="_blank">Visualize Your Water Challenge Webinar</a></p> <p>Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.</p> <p><strong>See <a href="https://esri.app.box.com/vywgettingstartedguide" target="_blank">Getting Started Guide</a> for the full list of resources.</strong></p> <p><strong>Have a question? </strong>See <a href="https://esri.app.box.com/vywfaq" target="_blank">Frequently Asked Questions</a> or contact [email protected]</p> <img class="wp-image-112281 size-medium" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/challenge-gov/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/15409013498_8d4f709f80_o-300x215.jpg" alt="Credit: Patricia M." width="300" height="215"/><br> Credit: Patricia M. <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Timeline:</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: left;">Competition Begins --january 13th, 2016</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Submissions Due --- March 1st, 2016 by 8 pm EST</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Judging --- Ends mid-March 2016</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Winners Announced --- April 2016</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Eligibility:</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: left;">High School Students in the following US states are eligible to participate:</p> <ul> <li style="text-align: left;"><strong>Great Lakes Basin:</strong> Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin</li> <li style="text-align: left;"><strong>Chesapeake Bay Watershed:</strong> Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia</li> </ul> To be considered for an award, entrants must be a high school student in one of the designated states and sponsored by a teacher at their high school.
