August-September Green Map Express

Here at Green Map System, we have had a very productive summer. With a fresh crop of innovation growing, we invite you to share in the harvest!

While school has been on break, we gathered up the responses from the educators and youth group leaders who tested our set of Energy and Environment Exploration Modules over the past year. We then refined and finalized these adaptable tools and the educator guide that goes with them for both in and out-of-school activities. Both New York City and Global editions are now available. We invite you to use them with middle and high school students in your community. read more »
