[HOT] Mapping with Kids

Sun Jul 2 14:14:49 UTC 2017

Dear Heather and all,
as Cristiano said, over the last few years we have organized at Politecnico
di Milano what we called "mini-mapathons" in primary schools around Como
and Milan (Italy) with 9 and 10 year-old children. For those interested,
here you can find a paper about the educational value of the experience (it
contains an analysis based on a questionnaire filled by the children after
the event):

I am strongly interested in this topic so I'm happy to further chat about
this.
All the best,

Marco
