The deadline for the 2024 Community College Innovation Challenge (CCIC) is fast approaching! The CCIC is hosted by the American Association of Community Colleges in partnership with the National Science Foundation. It is a national competition where teams of community college students work with a faculty or administrator mentor to use science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to innovate solutions to real-world problems, receive full travel support to attend an Innovation Boot Camp in Washington, D.C., and compete for cash awards. The Innovation Boot Camp provides professional development, mentoring, and coaching sessions to build strategic communication and entrepreneurial skills to help students advance their innovations in both the public and private sectors. The Boot Camp culminates in a poster session and engagement opportunity with STEM leaders and Congressional stakeholders, and a pitch presentation in front of a panel of industry professionals to determine the first, second, and third-place winning teams. Diverse and interdisciplinary teams that include students in STEM, business, humanities, and other fields are encouraged to apply. To hear from past participants and judges about the positive impact of participating, view our CCIC Information Sessions here. DEADLINE: Submissions are due by April 2, 2024. What can you do? JOIN: Assemble a student team and become a faculty or administrator mentor. SHARE: Help us spread the word and join the conversation online! #CCIChallenge2024.

Call for Competition We are pleased to announce the ISI (International Statistics Institute) Esri Student Poster Competition 2018/19. Final judging will take place during the ISI World Statistics Congress in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, August 18–23, 2019. This competition is sponsored by Esri and ISI. The competition aims to: Promote research - With the integration of statistical and geospatial data, it is important to promote research in topics related to this integration and use of GIS in statistics, including spatial statistics, regression modeling, spatial data management, mapping, visualization and analysis. Encourage spatial thinking - Spatial thinking involves identifying, analyzing, and understanding the location, scale, patterns, and trends of the geographic and temporal relationships among data. We aim to foster the development of geospatial methods and analysis in university statistics programs. Inspire curiosity - Inspire your curiosity about statistical spatial analysis, geographic patterns, and geocomputing. GIS is about uncovering meaning and insights from within data. It provides a way to understand through data exploration, analytics, visualization, and sharing and dissemination. http://www.geotechcenter.org/2019-geospatial-technology-skills-competition.html
