Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Many classrooms around the world lack the infrastructure, funding and capabilities necessary to carry out virtual exchange. MapWorks Learning has solved that by building a purpose built platform, specifically designed around building global competencies, digital literacy and reaching the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.

Mapping the Mangroves
Mapping the Mangroves is a project focused on tracking/mapping the biodiversity of coastal ecosystems and raising public awareness about this vital habitat. The project aims to connect and mobilize a global network of proactive, environmentally-engaged citizens who collect and disseminate information about the world's mangroves. The project’s ultimate goal will be to provide students, educators and scientists around the world with a freely available collection of online materials dedicated to preserving our world's mangroves.
