More about the GeoTech Conference
The mission of GeoTech is to provide a forum to inspire and motivate educators in grades K-12 to teach about the Earth - its structure, societies, environments and their interplay - using a wide range of technologies. GeoTech brings together innovative presenters and teachers in all disciplines to share the latest in academic and technological innovations.
This year’s keynote speaker is David Rumsey, historian and geographer. Mr. Rumsey began building a collection of North and South American historical maps and related cartographic materials in 1980. His collection, with more than 150,000 maps, is one of the largest private map collections in the United States with over 10,000 high-resolution images of maps from his collection online. Rumsey was given an Honors Award from the Special Libraries Association for making his private map collection available to the public via the Internet, and won a Webby Award for Technical Achievement.
This year, Bishop Dunne Catholic High School will also host a speaker series during GeoTech week, including:
- Sr. Helen Prejean, award-winning author and activist
- Spencer Wells, Ph.D., geneticist, anthropologist,
and National Geographic Explorer-in Residence
- Louis Mangione, Educator and Lecturer.
