Delaware students encouraged to enter ArcGIS web app competition

The Delaware Department of Education in conjunction with the state’s geospatial education community encourages Delaware middle and high school students to join Esri’s 2023 ArcGIS webapp competition.

Students are challenged to create and share interactive mapping projects using ESRI ArcGIS software.

Delaware entrants for this national competition must create a digital map or story map that highlights facts and features unique to Delaware.

Esri’s 2023 ArcGIS School Competition is open to high school and middle school students in the United States. Assistance is available to teachers and students who have limited knowledge of how to create an ArcGIS Story map or webapp. Delaware’s top five students in both middle and high school divisions will each be awarded a $100 cash prize. The state also will select one middle school and one high school entrant to compete nationally. Winners at the national level will earn a trip to the 2023 Esri Education Summit in San Diego, Calif.

“I loved meeting with last year's winners and learning about their projects. They were excited about what they learned and the chance they had to practice real-world skills," said Delaware Department of Education Secretary Mark Holodick.
