SPATIAL THINKING EFFECTS ON THE HUMAN BRAIN
The Geospatial Semester (GSS) partners Virginia high schools with theSchool of Integrated Sciences at James Madison University. In addition to launching hundreds of students into academic careers in GIS and geographic sciences, GSS uniquely measures
the effects of geospatial thinking on brain function. Its work provides compelling evidence that a spatial approach to science, technology, engineering, and math effectively teaches students crucial skills to succeed in college and beyond.
