After supporting America’s K-12 and STEM education for more than two decades, billionaire Jack Dangermond is now taking his commitment to the next level by bringing free mapping software to more than 100,000 schools.
Dangermond, the 69-year-old founder and president of the mapping software company Environmental Science Research Institute (known as Esri), announced today that the company will make its advanced mapping software ArcGIS available for free for all the K-12 schools across the country. Through the program, students will now have access to the cloud-based software — the same GIS technology used by governments and businesses — to map and analyze data.
