We had an incredible time on June 21st at Fayetteville State University's NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Pre-college Summer Institute! USGIF's Christine Devine (MacKrell) and Lyndsey Hofmann engaged with high school students from underrepresented communities who are passionate about using geospatial applications to tackle climate change. 🌱🌎 Christine and Lyndsey shared valuable insights on how climate change is not just an environmental issue but a critical geospatial intelligence challenge. They also highlighted amazing opportunities through USGIF for these bright young minds. 🎓💡 It's an incredible initiative to empower the next generation of leaders in environmental science and technology! 🌟💼 Special Thanks to Fayetteville State University for hosting us and for their commitment to nurturing future GEOINT leaders. We're honored to be part of such an important initiative! 🌍 #USGIF #GEOINT #ClimateChange #STEMeducation #FutureLeaders #NASA #FayettevilleStateUniversity
