AdornGeo

Geo@NIST

The original AdornGeo gateway connecting classroom Geography at NIST with contemporary events and the wider world.

Current geography

Contemporary events help students connect geographic processes to real places, stakeholders and evidence. The AdornGeo Flipboard now provides the current-events collection.

Geography beyond the classroom

The wider NIST Geographic idea was to deepen understanding of natural and human environments through experiential learning: learning from the world around us and applying geographic knowledge and skills back to that world.

NIST Geographic aims

The archived project organised opportunities around four ideas.

  • Adventure — growth through new challenges
  • Creativity — capture experiences and knowledge in ways that inspire others
  • Exploration — look and learn in more powerful ways
  • Service — take action on important issues connected to Geography
