Geospatial Minds Foundation, Inc. is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. It was founded in December 2, 2020 by Eboné Brienna Pierce with the goal of to increase the computer literacy skills among students in the Greater New Orleans Area.
The founder of Geospatial Minds Foundation Inc., Eboné B. Pierce, has a civilian oceanographer background that command the usage of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), mapping skills and geospatial analysis which she has mastered over a ten year and ongoing career. Curious as to why these skills, careers, or information are not taught in public schools the nonprofit emerged. Students in particular regions do not have access to information about Geographic Information System (GIS) careers due to the lack of funding in school districts, family socioeconomic dispositions and overall quality of life. The opportunity for students to learn these types of skills may lead to more profound and sustainable careers especially in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM).
Geospatial Minds Foundation, Inc. promotes Geographic Information Systems (GIS), mapping skills and location intelligence to develop student’s analytical skills capable for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) college majors, career paths and job readiness.
The mission of Geospatial Minds Foundation, Inc. is to educate, train, explore and prepare students using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) computer skills, mapping techniques, geospatial analysis and location intelligence. Most students cannot afford or do not have access to computers and appropriate software in low income areas and school districts. We seek to improve student’s computer literacy, critical thinking, reading, writing, science, mathematics and analytical skills that can transition to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) career paths.
Geospatial Minds Foundation, Inc. started out with a few volunteers, but has since grown and now awarded $5,000 in college tuition scholarships to high school students pursuing a career in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM).
As it grows its volunteer base, Geospatial Minds Foundation, Inc. has been able to implement Geospatial Analyst Program, Scholarship Program, and Community Service Program through its network of ESRI Nonprofit Program, successful board members, and faithful donors.
