Geo Explorer Auburn — Citizen Science GIS

What is Geo Explorer Auburn?

We are a 35-foot mobile science Lab powered by solar energy that visits K-12 schools across Alabama and beyond. We help students use scientific thinking and technologies to understand the grand challenges of Earth, Environment, and Society. We are a partnership between Auburn University Department of Geosciences, Auburn University College of Sciences and Mathematics, and 15lightyears.

Why Geo Explorer Auburn Matters.

The Power of Being 1st. Auburn hosts the first of its kind mobile geoscience experience in the United States on a 35-foot RV!
We Bring the World to Science’s Next Generation: Most K-12 schools do not offer geoscience, geospatial technology, geography, or geology experiences to students. We fill the gap through mobile education!
We Support In-Demand Careers: Geoscience careers are booming and offer lucrative salaries. There is an annual growth rate of 35% in geospatial technology careers. Yet, K-12 students are often unaware of these careers. We stimulate interest in these fields!
We Provide Access to All: Geo Explorer Auburn supports the land-grant mission of Auburn University. Scheduling priority is given to Title 1 schools and schools lacking sufficient support for science and technology experiences. We believe science and technology should be shared with all in society!

We Stop for Science.

We Offer Fun, Hands-On Science and Technology Learning. We use augmented and virtual reality technologies, engage in real-world scientific problem solving, code and fly mini drones, and more.
We Connect Alabama Youth, Auburn Students, and Industry Professionals. We engage and inspire youth to believe in their talents and to believe in Auburn as their destination of choice.
We Park at Your School. Auburn students, faculty, and staff engage your students in an immersive, hands-on learning environment to complement the school day, and we never leave your parking lot.
